Intense on and off rains falling in Santo Domingo on the afternoon of Sunday, 25 February 2018, caused the suspending of the Santo Domingo Carnival. Many of the scheduled 86 parade groups from all around the country danced and paraded in the rain, but the National District city government carnival organizer, Dagoberto Tejeda said the weather conditions just were not there for the parading.
The parade had already waited two hours in case the rains would let.

A future date could be announced for the parade.
