I'm getting confliction info re: Carnival this year.

I heard that because Ash Wednesday is early this year, Carnival ends before the last Sunday in Feb.

Last couple of years, it was every Sunday in Feb.

I'm planning my Feb. trip to do two Carnivals, Santiago and La Vega. I need good dates.

Where can I find the info? Anybody have some solid 411?

TIA

Robert:]Part of the problem is the fact that the Church is trying to separate the two: Lent and Carnival....
there have been meetings between Church officials and the Committee thatis charged with the carnival celebrations...
I will try and get some solid infromation for you...

And with the goverment too, Feb.27th is the independence day and dates match too, and many people associate the independence day with the carnival too.
