During the month of February every town in the Dominican Republic celebrates Carnaval, a local celebration commemorating the distinct cultures and traditions throughout the country. Each town hosts its own Carnaval parade, incorporating different local customs into costume designs, food, songs and dances.
During the months of July and August, Fundación Tropicalia will hold "I'm a Girl, I'm important", a summer camp aimed at girls aged 9-12 years, whose purpose is to promote a fun, safe and educational space, where they learn their rights and can exercise their role of being girls.
