puntacanatv.com On Saturday 4th March 2010 the 3rd Punta Cana Carnival took place in Punta Cana Village opposite the airport. The event was hosted by the Puntacana Group, which manages the Puntacana Resort & Club and the airport. The Punta Cana Carnival showcased over 1000 carnival characters from 15 of the islands provinces. Thousands of spectators gathered keenly at the sides of the boulevard ready to join in with the festivities. Caribbean rhythms blared from the speakers as the afternoon sun beat down on the masses. Vendors lined the street behind selling cooling refreshments, food, masks and souvenirs. The Grand Procession kicked off with troupe after troupe of rainbow coloured perfomers. Pretty soon the whole length of the boulevard was awash with vibrant colour and twirling dancers. The Punta Cana Carnival was an incredible, multi-sensory experience of national patriotism, tradition, community, music and dance amplified by the Dominican peoples fun, jovial spirit and zest for life. If you are visiting Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic this time next year we thoroughly recommend you make it part of your itinerary.
