Independence Day parade in Sosúa
Wednesday morning, February 27, the memorable event celebrated 175 years since the independent ‘República Dominicana’ was proclaimed. Until at least half past nine it rained constantly and heavily. The Sosúa parade therefore started somewhat later than planned in Charamicos. The parade first went through a number of streets of Charamicos. The procession left Charamicos from the Caribe Tours bus station and walked on towards El Batey, where it first walked through the Calle Pedro Clisante, then stopped for a few minutes at the park with the flags.
There a speech was given and some flowers laid at the memorial. Mayor Ilana Neumann spoke to the public there. At the parade all the schools of Sosúa take part. But among them also representatives of the police, firefighters, civil guard and councillors. The procession then went to the helicopter field. Two stands had been set up on the field. The first one was used as a platform for the mayor and other representatives from where they had a good view on the other platform in front. This second platform was used by all participating groups to make their appearance and entertain the audience with a demonstration.
