The story

Carnaval de Bani in Bani

Bani, birthplace of General Maximo Gomez and Peravia province's capital, holds a standard February Sunday carnival of local comparsas without a fixed character, distinct from the town's separate mango exposition and its UNESCO-recognized June Sarandunga tradition. The carnival draws mostly local and regional crowds rather than international visitors.

Bani, capital of Peravia province, is the birthplace of Maximo Gomez, the Dominican-born general who became one of Cuba's most important independence war commanders, a fact the town commemorates with a statue and museum in its center.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

02

The mystery stays covered

The town's connection to General Maximo Gomez, commemorated with a dedicated museum, adds a historical dimension uncommon among carnival towns of similar size
