Laguna Verde, Dominican Republic: Carnival Rides and Election Billboards

Ferris wheel and election billboards in Laguna Verde, Dominican Republic
In Laguna Verde, Dominican Republic, a temporary carnival fairground is set up adjacent to numerous political billboards. The billboards advertise candidates for municipal elections, including Oneida Veras and Joselo Martinez & Cesarina, for the 2016-2020 term, reflecting the active political landscape of the region. The presence of carnival rides, such as a Ferris wheel and spinning pods, alongside campaign advertisements, highlights the blend of local entertainment and political engagement in communities like La Otra Banda, which is also indicated by road signage pointing to nearby tourist destinations such as Punta Cana and Bávaro.
