DDA on Government Carnival Names

The terms “Dominica’s Carnival”, “Mas Domnik” or “The Real Mas” cannot be used as tag lines for any events during this year’s Carnival season.

That’s the word of Festival and Events Manager Marva Williams, who held a meeting with Carnival stakeholders last week, to discuss improvements for Carnival 2022.

Williams advised that some terms belong to the Carnival brand that is owned by the Government of Dominica, who has cancelled Carnival 2021.

The Discover Dominica Authority has further reminded organizers that all events must be approved by Dominica’s Chief of Police and relevant health authorities, and all COVID-19 protocols must be observed during festivities
