The Fair of Peace and Fraternity of the Free World (Feria de la Paz y Confraternidad del Mundo Libre) was an international world’s fair that took place during the Trujillo Era in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic (then called Ciudad Trujillo) in 1955-56.

On December 20, 1955 Hector Trujillo cut the opening ribbon and Rafael Trujillo delivered the address summarizing his achievements.Trujillo’s daughter, the 16 year old Angelita, was crowned as “Queen Angelita I” to preside over the fair. Accompanied by 150 “princesses” she wore a white satin dress bordered with 600 Russian ermine furs and a 75 feet train that had been commissioned for $ 80,000 at Fontana from Rome.A military parade impressed the strength of the Dominican military.

At the Plaza de las Naciones, the entry to the exhibition, two large sculptural pieces were erected, a harp intoning the winds and a colossus (Atlas or Apollo) with raised arms holding a dove and the universe; both structures were destroyed by Hurricane David in 1979.Seventy-five permanent buildings were constructed for the fair.

Note: He was a dictator,he killed and tortured a lot of people(inlcuding the famous Mirabal Sisters). Trujillo was killed in 1961, Angelita,his daughter, is alive; she and her family can’t come to DR. I posted this because I think that this was fucking ridiculous and absurd and I wanted to share it.
