Puerto Plata carnival

Puerto Plata Carnival 2023 is being celebrated every Sunday of February in el Malecon, with the final grand parade on March 11th starting in Long Beach. With the participation of multiple comparsas, diablos cojuelos, Taimáscaros tribes and individuals, the third Sunday of the Puerto Plata Carnival 2023 was carried out with success.

The event is again organized by the Carnival Union of Puerto Plata (UCAPPLATA), and takes place in the La Puntilla amphitheater, located on the shores of the Atlantic Ocean and at the foot of the San Felipe colonial fort. A hot sun and the very refreshing sea breeze were the perfect natural contrast, so that thousands of people enjoyed the color and creativity of the Puerto Plata Carnival to the fullest.
