Nine-day fiestas patronales in Imbert (inland Puerto Plata, on the road toward Damajagua) for Nuestra Señora de las Mercedes — the town's patron and a national feast day on September 24. Masses and a procession with the Virgin's image, the queen's parade with baton ballet, street games, and a closing night in Plaza Sánchez. Free to attend; pay only for food and stalls. The Ayuntamiento announces the nightly lineup locally.
