Palmares Festival
Today Until January 25
If are looking for something to do to beat
out the cold weather, head out to Palmares,
as the annual festival kicks off today at
noon.
The Palmares festival is second to the
Zapote fair in San José, but perhaps the
most visited by Costa Ricans.
Located 30 minutes west of the Juan
Santamaría (San José) international airport,
the Palmares festival has everything - tope
(horses), games, food, bars and lots of live
entertainment, including the Mexican singer
Lucero.
This year, as well the Policía de Tránsito
will maintain a tight ring around Palmares
to stop drinking and driving. Spot checks
into and from Palmares will be the norm,
said Germán Marín, the director of the
Tránsito police.
The festival is presented by the Asociación
Cívica (ACP) Palmareña.
