If you’ve ever wondered what Easter / Holy Week in the Dominican Republic is REALLY like — this is it.

We filmed across multiple days to show how quickly things change:

???? Wednesday: Surprisingly calm. A bit busier than normal… but still very much “everyday Cabarete”
???? Good Friday (Viernes Santo): A completely different vibe — no music, no alcohol sales, and a strong police & military presence across town
???? Saturday: Everything ramps up… crowds, traffic, music, and energy as the long weekend hits full swing ????

This is the week where Dominicans from cities across the country head to the beach — and Cabarete becomes a totally different place.

In this video, we’re showing you:
✔️ What Semana Santa actually looks like day-by-day
✔️ What rules to expect on Good Friday
✔️ How busy Cabarete gets (and when!)
✔️ What surprised us the most this year
✔️ Tips for visiting during Semana Santa

Whether you’re a tourist planning a trip or a local curious about Cabarete during Semana Santa 2026, this gives you a real, on-the-ground look at what to expect.

???? Is it too busy? Is it still worth visiting? We’ll help you decide.
