Events through the season
Dates change from year to year, so check the organizers' calendars before you travel. These are the events that regularly fill Cap Cana's agenda:
Music by the beach
Concerts and beach parties on the sands of Playa Juanillo, with international headliners, local talent and DJs playing until late under the palm trees.
Golf at Punta Espada
The Cap Cana Open brings amateur and professional players to the Punta Espada course, with its famous cliffside 17th hole. Even if you are not playing, it is worth attending to watch the action and the evening receptions around it.
Fishing tournaments at the marina
Blue marlin, white marlin, mahi-mahi and sailfish are commonly caught off Cap Cana, and the marina hosts tournaments through the season. Watching the boats return with their catches, with music and barbecues on the docks, is a spectacle in itself.
Cultural festivals
Merengue and bachata performances, open-air art exhibitions and local food such as sancocho, tostones and fresh seafood prepared the Dominican way.
Polo and equestrian shows
Los Establos hosts polo matches, show jumping and dressage in a family-friendly atmosphere, with activities for children and guided tours of the center.
