It’s carnival season and we can’t wait for the celebrations to come to Cabarete. Throughout the month of February, carnivals happen every Sunday in different cities in the Dominican Republic. The Cabarete Carnaval is slightly different and takes place in March, but offers a much more family-friendly and chill carnival than the others.
About the Cabarete Carnival
The first of these carnivals dates back to the year 1520. Since then, they’ve been an important tradition for Dominicans as a way to express their culture and identity. Each one of the costumes are handmade and brightly colored to symbolize religious and traditional characters.
You’ll definitely want to bring your camera as these costumes combined with the dancing, art and music are truly spectacular. One of our favorites to watch and hear are the ‘Diablos Cojuelos’. These are easily recognizable with their impressively loud whips. You can definitely hear them before you see them!
