This is a prestigious festival sanctioned by the IOC and UNESCO.
It is where the people get together to play some games and
practice some sports!! The object is not to compete and win, it is
to participate and try the traditional sports. The web site is:

For example: you will see bocci from Italy, voladores from Mexico,
capoeira from Brazil or

Is the DR sending a delegation?

Shoud've mentioned: If anyone knows a DR Sports federation that practices a traditional sport in the DR, maybe they would be interested to participate and send a delegation to Los Juegos del Mundo, next July, in Montreal. This is a great opportunity to showcase the DR, its traditions and culture. A delegation can include up to 10 people. The DR sports group has to pay for the airfare and Canada will cover the costs of food, room and board for the 10 days they will be in Montreal. If anyone is interested, they should go to the web site, fill-in the necessary application and send it in. September is the deadline to submit a candidacy.
Come and meet the world, in Montreal, from July 28 to August 8, 2004. We expect around 50 countries and more than 1 000 participants. Hasta luego!!
