This carnival began as a religious activity to celebrate the triumph of good over evil and has recently morphed into a celebration of Dominican independence. It features haunting devil masks made of papier-mâche – intricate gargoyles painted in many different colours, with spiked horns and real cows’ teeth. The art of making these masks is a local tradition and the skills are passed down from generation to generation. This festival is also well-known for its music, food, drinks and for being a colorful and vibrant celebration.
