    Dominican Carnival (in Puntacana) - Pictures and Videos.

    Every year right before Lent, Dominicans celebrate our centuries-old carnival, a Catholic tradition that survives from the time of the colony, and that has acquired here the same flavors and influences as our cuisine.

    These are pictures I took over several years at the Puntacana carnival. While this parade is not as large as the one in Santo Domingo, or as popular as the one in La Vega, its compact size means that we get to see the best troupes in the carnival, plus local participants and the kids and teachers from our school.

    From Seybo's papeluses, to Montecristi's toros, and of course Diablos Cojuelos, the traditional troupes from San Francisco, Santiago, and La Vega. Every year some international troupes join the parade from other neighboring Caribbean nations.

    So far I've seen participants from Curaçao, Haiti, and Puerto Rico -- though there are probably more.
