    For a true Dominican every day is culture day. But it is expecially joyous to see the young people participating and taking pride

      Well I agree about culture being all year round. But I suppose what the headline meant is that this is “National Cultural competition time again”. This is the time of year when all the preliminaries, semi-finals and finals are taking place.
