The story

Carnaval de Dajabon in Dajabon

Dajabon, the Massacre River border town famous for its twice-weekly Dominican-Haitian market, holds a standard February Sunday carnival of local comparsas without a documented signature character. The event serves mainly the border province's own residents rather than tourists drawn specifically by the busy market itself.

Dajabon sits directly on the Massacre River border with Haiti, best known nationally for its twice-weekly binational market where Haitian and Dominican traders cross the border bridge to buy and sell goods, one of the most distinctive cross-border commercial scenes in the Caribbean.

02

The mystery stays covered

Visitors get a rare chance to see how an ordinary Dominican festive tradition coexists with an active international border economy, on a river frontier whose crossing point has shaped the town's identity for generations
