Fiestas de Palmares

Las Fiestas Palmares is Costa Rica’s largest and most anticipated festival. Every year, the party starts on the second Thursday of the year, and lasts for 2 weeks, until the the third Sunday of January. If you find yourself in Costa Rica during this time, make your way to the small city of Palmares, between Alejuala and San Ramon, and get ready to have the time of your life.

Events include concerts, comedy shows, fireworks, sports, calf scramble with adult bulls, and a traditional horse parade better known as “the tope”. Outdoor tents are set up with food and beverage stations, and more beer than you can imagine–only second to Oktoberfest. Over a million people are expected to attend, so if you’re in Costa Rica, this is one event you definitely don’t want to miss!
