The 2022 Puerto Plata Carnival is back, on March 12th at the Malecon and La Puntilla. “The extensive boardwalk and the spectacular amphitheater of this Atlantic city will serve as the setting for the Great National Carnival Parade to be held next Saturday, March 12.”
This was announced by the president of the Puerto Plata Carnival Union (UCAPPLATA), Dr. Juan Oscar Souffront (Yanco), explaining that this folkloric and cultural festival returns after two years of pause due to the COVID pandemic.
Souffront said that the “Great National Parade of Carnival Puerto Plata 2022” will have the consent of the Public Health authorities whose inspectors will establish biosafety protocols to avoid massive spread of Coronavirus.
