Limón
Carnival Next Week
The Carnavales de Limón is back. After
a two hiatus, the Caribbean coast will once
again live its colour, costumes and
traditional food, music and art.
The Limón carnival this year will begin on
Thursday, October 15 and continue until
Sunday, October 18.
The last carnival in the port city took
place in 2006.
In 2007 Salud (Health officials) cancelled
the yearly event due to sanitation problems
in the city of Limón and last year an
outbreak of Dengue forced a cancellation for
a second year in a row.
This year, the carnival was threatened by
the AH1N1 virus flu like it cancelled the "romeria"
in August.
However, Salud officials have determined
that risk of infection is low and are
permitting the carnival to be held under
strict health controls.
It is estimated that the carnival will
attract some 5.000 visitors.
