Real Life and Times in the Dominican Republic
These are links to our monthly calendar. Just click on the month you want to view and it will open in a new window. I have listed all the events, concerts and happenings that I can find.
If you have an event or know of one please send me an email and I will be happy to include it. You can also post an event in the C Box message board on this page. Include any links or contact information. Then I can post it on the calendar. I need to know at least a few weeks in advance to place it on the calendar. I would like to make this calendar be a great source for all looking for something to do, especially in the Colonial Zone.
Looking for something else to do? Check out the
Pastimes pages. There you can find some great activities throughout Dominican Republic.
