Attendees will be able to enjoy exhibitions of sculptures on wooden saints, paintings by local artists, poetry recitals, children’s literary afternoons, as well as folk music and dances.

The day will culminate with the presentation of the Hogar Las Palmas Youth Symphony Orchestra-UNAD <\/a>and a merengue concert, closing with a flourish by the Municipal Music Band.\n\nThe Hydrangea Fair-Festival not only celebrates the colorfulness of this flower, a symbol of Bonao, but also promotes the rescue of popular culture, the economic development of the communities, and the hospitality of its people.\n\nThe historical origin of Bonao, founded in 1496 in the Chiefdom of Maguana, is enriched by these types of initiatives that recall its roots and strengthen its identity. The activity was formalized through resolutions 09\/2014 and 13\/2016 of the City Council of Bonao, proposed by the Coordinator of the Committee Feria-Festival de las Hortensias.\n\nWith this tenth edition, Bonao reaffirms its title as the fifth ecotourism province of the country and its role as the gateway to the Cibao, land of artists such as the master C\u00e1ndido Bid\u00f3, the immortal voice of Luis D\u00edaz and the talents of H\u00e9ctor Acosta and Nelson de la Olla.\n\n\n
