Desamparados CarnivalToday

The Carnaval de Desamparados is on today with a noon time start. The carnaval on the south side of San José replaces the traditional carnaval that had been held in the downtown core for years, but for reasons not really understood, has been cancelled for the third year in a row.

The Municipalidad de Desamparados and the Asociación Cívica Desamparadeña have been working for months to prepare the big party which will include floats, dancers, marching bands and clowns.

The roads into the centre of Desamparados will be closed at least until 8pm, with somne 85 Tránsitos (traffic) officials on hand to ensure order and 650 officers of the Fuerza Pública (police).
