The story
Carnaval de Nagua in Nagua
Nagua, coastal capital of Maria Trinidad Sanchez province, holds a standard February Sunday carnival of local comparsas without a signature character, set among the coconut groves and fishing communities of the northeast coast. Nagua separately hosts a coconut festival later in the year celebrating its agricultural economy.
Nagua, capital of Maria Trinidad Sanchez province on the Atlantic-facing northeast coast, runs its carnival against a backdrop of coconut groves and fishing communities rather than the mountain or border landscapes that shape carnivals elsewhere in the country.
