Carnival characters have had two Sundays to practice, so expect this Sunday action to be at its best. There are two carnivals in Santo Domingo, one along Maximo Gomez Avenue and another on Av. Espana. For the first time, Carnival has been announced in Boca Chica, but the traditional carnivals are in La Vega, Bonao and Santiago. Puerto Plata’s carnival is also getting good reviews. Carnivals in these areas take place every Sunday in February.
