The story

Festival del Cacao Hato Mayor in Hato Mayor

Hato Mayor, an eastern cacao-growing province near Los Haitises National Park, holds general September civic festivities and maintains a documented Chocolate Route tourism experience, though a specifically named, independently confirmed Festival del Cacao distinct from these was not verified in available sourcing on the province.

Hato Mayor, an eastern provincial capital known for cacao and coffee cultivation alongside its role as a gateway to Los Haitises National Park, hosts local patronal-style festivities each September that Dominican tourism sourcing describes as a good time to visit, featuring popular contests, religious services, talks and folkloric group performances.
