PUERTO PLATA.-In an atmosphere full of color and emotions, the queen and king momo of the Puerto Plata Carnival 2024 were elected, an event held in the convention halls of the Blue Jacktar Hotel in Playa Dorada.
Luz Bierka Yorlenis Rodríguez was crowned queen of the Puerto Plata 2024 carnival, while Alanna Michelle Díaz turned out to be the vice queen and Yinelis Ramirez Silverio, chosen as Princess.
In this version, at the head of a new board chaired by Jairo Reyes, King Momo Jesús Rafael Ramos was chosen, leaving the Amalio Morrobel Cultural Award institutionalized, falling into the hands of Rafael Tolentino, with a dedication to city mayor Roquelito García, for his great contributions to culture and carnival, for more than 20 years.
It would be this Sunday that the carnival warm-up would be taking place, starting from the Puente Seco, traveling through the main streets and sectors of the city.

An eye-catching exhibition about the Puerto Plata Carnival 2024 is open to the public for free at the Eduardo Brito Culture House in this city.
There, Taimáscaros costumes and masks are exhibited, among other outfits representative of the Puerto Plata Carnival, which can be appreciated up close by the population and tourists until Tuesday, February 27.
“These elements of the Carnival highlight our cultural traditions of the Taíno, European and African ethnic groups originating from the colonization of America,” said the provincial person in charge of Culture, Franco Feliciano.
The official pointed out that the initiative for the aforementioned exhibition came from the Puerto Plata Carnival Union (UCAPPLATA), which is currently chaired by the cultural manager Jairo Reyes.
