In this paper, we consider the formation of droplets in the dimer model on a triangular lattice. The droplets in the dimer model are superposition polygons formed as two overlapping configurations of dimers: constant and movable. We have performed simulations of the system of dimers via the Monte Carlo method. We demonstrate that specific local energies of dimers and low temperatures lead to the emergence of a macroscopic droplet. The motivation for this study was the phenomenon of the formation of equilibrium droplets under certain conditions in the Ising model within the framework of the Dobrushin-Kotecký-Shlosman theory. Due to the deep connections between the Ising model and the dimer model, similar behavior was expected.
