Festival Presidente
The Festival Presidente (Presidente Festival) previously known as Festival Presidente de Música Latina, is a music festival in the Dominican Republic. It is one of the most important musical events in Latin America and is the largest in the Caribbean region. The festival is arranged by the Cervecería Nacional Dominicana (makers of Presidente beer) and is celebrated every two years for three days during October in the Estadio Olímpico Félix Sánchez of Santo Domingo.
History
[edit]The idea of the Festival came about in 1995, when the Cervecería Nacional Dominicana chose to make an event to reward the loyalty of the Dominican people towards Cerveza Presidente.
In 2007, the Dominican National Brewery cancelled the festival due to the new tax for beer sells imputed by the Dominican Government.- In 2010 The Festival came back in August, as well as in 2014. 2017 was the biggest version of the festival, held the first weekend of November at Estadio Olímpico Félix Sánchez.
