The National District municipal authorities have heeded requests by the Catholic Church to hold the Santo Domingo Carnival parades on Sunday 22 February. The Church's request was due to the fact that Carnival celebrations would coincide with Ash Wednesday and the beginning of Lent. Luis Taveras, director of Urban Animation for the National District, explains that this year's Carnival will be the best ever and that the scale of the production has increased tremendously. One hundred troupes are expected to compete for the best of show prize. The festivities can be watched on the Av. Mexico this Sunday.
