...and every Sunday before that in La Vega
March 4Th??? Dammit! I'll be heading back home that day.
But, I will be visiting La Vega. Is anyone from ISOC will be in Santo Domingo to see the Carnival? I would appreciate a followup report and especially some pictures. So much to do, so little time.
Searching for the ultimate Squirter!
The march 4th event in santo domingo is a parade featuring carnaval groups from all over the island. It is sort of the official wrap up of carnaval. I'll be in la vega next week for carnaval but will most likely miss the SD parade.
If ya wanna see the SD parade as well as other carnavals from recent years

Is it only in SD on March 4th?
Jimmy owes me a dollar!
Pretty much. Only the parade.
hrmm thats on Sunday. What time does it start?
I wonder if the guys are up for a road trip.......
Careful in those carnivals.
Don't get yourself caught up in a crowd.
Criminals love to work big crowds.
There's an ongoing thread on DR1 about what happened to the dude at the La Vega carnival.
I WON'T ever go to them.
Watch it from a balcony, yes, but never mingle with the crowd,

He's a well built healthy big dude, and a group of tigres surrounded him and his GF and were walking him around.
He doesn't detail how he broke loose, but it would appear he had to fight.
They can so easily shank you when you're surrounded like that, and nobody else would even know, as you hit the ground, and they relieve you of your stuff while you bleed to death.
I've had 3 pickpockets try to work me in less than 5 minutes at a POP patronales.
Rocky I hope you are not referring to the same guy. Healthy & 300lbs don't belong in the same sentence. Personally I am 6'3" and have never weighed more then 225 in my entire life. A old friend of mine was a bodybuilder at 6'1" and he weighed at most 240. Linemen in the NFL might be 6'3"/300lbs but I wouldn't describe them as healthy, when their waists are bigger then their chests.
Sorry to hear what happened to the guy but that could happen anywhere in the world in large crowds. You should always take care in a large crowd.
I would be staying overnight for sure. Going to SD on like Saturday during the day or evening for 1 night and possibly staying Sunday night also depending when it ends.
I think it could be interesting to see. Like any other plan in the DR it could fall apart at any moment of course but I would like to keep the option on my plate.
I definitely like the idea of getting a hotel with a nice blacony view of the parade. Anyone ever been to this who knows about what time this starts/finishes on Sunday? Maybe recommend a good hotel I can see it from?
