Boca Chica is preparing its Carnival for 22 and 23 March. Mayor Daniel Ozuna is heading the organizing committee. He said that Neptune and Papaupa de la Matica are two characters that everyone is sure to enjoy. The carnival is known as the Carnival of the Sea, Boca Chica 2014, with a focus on the beach and the sea, according to its general coordinator, folklorist Roldan Marmol. He said that 20 of the more than 50 parading groups are coming from other coastal destinations, including Rio San Juan, Puerto Plata, Barahona, Bani, Samana and La Romana. The carnival king will be local fisherman Luis Adriano Salas, and the organizers are also dedicating the event to baseball player Junior Noboa.
