The story

Carnaval Infantil Santo Domingo in Santo Domingo

Santo Domingo's National District Carnival, culminating in a major February Malecon parade with more than seventy comparsas, has historically incorporated children's-oriented carnival programming within its broader season, though a specifically named, independently confirmed standalone Carnaval Infantil Santo Domingo event was not verified in current available sourcing.

Santo Domingo's National District Carnival, staged each February and culminating in a major parade along the Malecon waterfront that recently drew more than seventy comparsas and thousands of spectators, has historically incorporated dedicated children's programming and preliminary parades within its broader carnival season, a pattern consistent with many Dominican towns that stage a distinct Carnaval Infantil ahead of or alongside the main adult parade.
