    Semana Santa - Cabarete

    So the other night sitting in Passions, JoeySterr to one side and TNT72 on the other I was explaining to the guys what Semana Santa in Cabarete was like. Up to 20,000 on the beach partying like no other place in the DR at least half of them chicas very few of whom you will ever see on the skank strip of Sosua. Sterrman's eyes got wider and wider, his smile got broader and broader until he exclaimed 'I gotta do this, I'm extending my trip!!!!'

    So this thread is taster for the upcoming weekend.

    Last year:

    And of course some of Sidney's favorites to make sure we don't drive without seatbelts.

    Re: Semana Santa - Cabarete

    Traffic in Cabarete is a nightmare at the best of times. During Semana Santa it can take an hour each way to get through town. So if you come to Cabarete by car, either your own or a cab. Park or get out where you first see cars parked and walk the rest of the way as there will be no parking available nearer the town center. You'll be just jammed up with Dominicans 2 cars abreast going both ways on a street that only has room for 1 car to pass.

    So, how long does it take to clean up all the garbage after the party is over?

    I'm thinking the beach should be clear again by the middle of May...

    So the count as of yesterday was 9 sound-stages being constructed. All more or less next to each other and the food stands aren't in place yet. 1 more sound stage than last year I think. These are some of the artists playing.

    So of course, knowing the ISOC drama puppies that are in town right now, we have this prepared.

    Bearing in mind that most Dominicans pitch up with coolers full of Grey Goose and Johnny Walker, bars can only sell beer in cans and plastic cups outside of their bars so the trash left over each day is huge. Each bar spends up to US$15,000 on their sound stages and I think they each have to have a team of clean-up staff as part of their licence.

    Brother, I hope you have fun, but you couldn't pay me to go to Cabarete during Semana Santa!!
    If you think it's love try not paying in the morning..

    Agreed! Did it when I was 19. Promised myself never to do it again. It's great to do it once and that's more than enough for a lifetime. Same with the La Vega Carnival.
