Long weekend in the Dominican Republic
Later this week, those who can will be either stocking up on the last of school supplies and books for the opening of school in the Dominican Republic on 20 August 2018, or sneaking in the last beach outing before school starts. Thursday, 16 August 2018 is an official holiday in the Dominican Republic. Given that it falls on a Thursday, many businesses will allow for staff to take the long weekend off.

The holiday celebrates Restoration Day that marks when independence was returned to the Dominican Republic by Spain. The country had been annexed to Spain by General Pedro Santana on 18 March 1861. He feared Haitians would again occupy the country.
