Palmares is here!!
Posted by admin | Filed under Uncategorized
January is here and you know what that means: Palmares! Palmares is the biggest event in Costa Rica and it takes place every year for two weeks in January. This event brings upwards of 1 million people from all over the country every year. It is organized by the Civic Association of Palmares whose goal is to raise money for the development of the community. Some of the funds are also donated to charitable organizations throughout the country.
Palmares is so popular because it starts off a new year of celebrations with concerts with national and international artists, “el Gran Tope”- the parade of horses, “el Festival Ranchero”- a concert of Ranchero music, and a Carnival with music, bright costumes, and dancing. There are also many cultural activities and sporting events to participate in or watch. Palmares proves to be one of the major events of the year.
The fun starts today, the 13th, and ends on the 25th. Don’t miss out!
