How we checked
Last checked October 16, 2026 against cultura.gob.do. Before anything appears here, a separate check fetches each source again and confirms that every date we show is in the quoted text.
Notes from the last check
The 2026 National Carnival Parade on the Santo Domingo Malecón is confirmed for Sunday 15 March 2026 by official Ministry of Culture and presidency pages, and a post-event report says it took place; no 2027 date is announced in any source I could fetch, so the next edition is recorded as tba.
