The story

Fiestas Patronales Santa Ana Pedernales in Pedernales

A July patron saint week in Pedernales, the country's most remote border province and gateway to Bahia de las Aguilas, honoring Santa Ana with a nine-day novena, a procession through the town's small streets, and a street fair drawing in nearly the entire local population of this isolated corner.

The Dominican Republic's most remote province, wedged against the Haitian border and serving as the gateway to the empty white sand of Bahia de las Aguilas, keeps its own July calendar around Santa Ana, grandmother of Jesus in Catholic tradition and patron of the town of Pedernales.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

Pedernales is one of the Dominican Republic's least populated and most isolated provinces, bordering Haiti and the arid scrubland of Jaragua National Park, so its fiestas patronales unfolds in one of the country's genuinely remote corners rather than a well-trodden destination, drawing in nearly the town's entire population given its small size

02

The mystery stays covered

The patron, Santa Ana, is associated in Catholic tradition with family and grandparenthood, giving the observance a domestically centered devotional character distinct from the martyr or missionary saints honored in many other Dominican towns
