Washington, D.C., December 15th - The Dominican Republic proudly secured third place among 16 countries at the 52nd Fiesta DC Parade of Nations, under the visionary leadership of Raiza Bonaparte. This year's presentation marked the International Celebration of the 170th Anniversary of Merengue, honoring the music, dance, and rich cultural heritage of the Dominican Republic.
The Dominican delegation captivated judges and audiences with a visually stunning float, dynamic dance performances, and a powerful cultural message highlighting merengue as a UNESCO-recognized gift to humanity. The float's concept was led by the award-winning Tila Berrocal, while the elegant and theme-inspired outfits were designed by renowned fashion designer Ramon Antonio, showcasing Dominican artistry and tradition.
"This recognition reflects the dedication, passion, and unity of everyone who made this vision a reality," said Bonaparte. "Together, we shared the beauty and cultural strength of the Dominican Republic with the world."
The success of the presentation was the result of collaboration among cultural performers, artists, and local and international community organizations. Their collective effort highlighted the legacy and global influence of merengue, uniting generations through its rhythm and artistry.
Securing third place holds special significance as it celebrates 170 years of merengue, reaffirming its role as a cornerstone of Dominican cultural identity and its impact on the global stage.
