The Puerto Plata Merengue Festival brings the joy of Dominican merengue to the North Coast. Held along Puerto Plata's scenic Malecón with views of the Atlantic Ocean and Mount Isabel de Torres, this festival features free concerts, food vendors, and community celebrations.
The event celebrates both merengue and the cultural heritage of the Cibao Norte region, showcasing local artists alongside national headliners. It's a more intimate alternative to Santo Domingo's festival, with a relaxed beach-town atmosphere.
