Zapote Fair To Have
Fewer Bars This Year
The first of the 45
spots for the Zapote
Fair held at the end of
the year will go up for
auction on Saturday,
November 8, as the
Municipalidad de San
José gets ready for the
traditional year end
party.
Jorge Villalobos,
president of the
Comisión de Festejos,
said that the bidding
will begin at 10am at
the municipal building
on Avenida 10 and only 7
liquor licenses, instead
of the 15 last year,
will be available.
Villalobos explained
that though there will
be fewer bars, each one
will be much larger that
last year, this to allow
people more comfort
instead of a lot of
small crowded bars.
The Zapote Fair is held
on the east side of San
Jose and could mean a
potential profit of ¢225
million colones, 10%
more than last year,
that will largely be
used to help out the
Hospicio de Huérfanos
(Orphanage), according
to Villalobos.
