The story

Gala del Carnaval Dominicano in Santo Domingo

The Dominican Carnival season nationally opens with an indoor gala documented as taking place in Santiago rather than Santo Domingo; a Gala del Carnaval Dominicano specifically tagged to the capital may refer to a related but distinctly located event or an awards-style gala separate from Santo Domingo's well-documented Malecon parade.

The Dominican Carnival season nationally begins with an indoor gala, documented sourcing places this opening event in Santiago rather than Santo Domingo, before the celebration continues across different towns through February and culminates in the National Carnival Parade held the first Sunday of March along Santo Domingo's Malecon waterfront.
