Dominican Republic Independence Day 2023

Google Dooles 27.02.2023 06:46  Date: February 27, 2023 Merengue and bachata ring throughout the Dominican Republic as performers in jingle-bell-draped costumes dance in the streets. This joyful scene at the end of February can only mean one thing for Dominicans — It’s Independence Day! Today’s Doodle celebrates how the island nation became a sovereign country on this day in 1844. People traditionally celebrate Independence Day during the last weekend of the Dominican Carnival — a month-long celebration that tops off with patriotic festivities. Dating back to 1520, Carnaval Dominicano is the oldest carnival in the Caribbeans. Each year, Dominicans celebrate its grand finale by enjoying crab callaloo and cassava bread as dazzling performers parade across the country. As pictured in today’s artwork, the red and blue Dominican flag features a white cross emblazoned with the country’s coat of arms. Throughout the year, it waves proudly from buildings across the nation. But the flag is especially prevalent at the end of February. Happy Independence Day, Dominican Republic! Location: Tags:
