Costa Rica Holidays - Events & Festivals - Costa Rica

Ticos, as Costa Ricans are called, are renowned for their gregarious nature, which is especially apparent during the numerous festivals, street fairs and carnivals celebrated throughout the year in all parts of the nation. From a Saint’s day to the harvesting of a seasonal fruit, all kinds of ‘fiesta’ are held and most revolve around traditional Costa Rican food, animals, arts, sports, contests and parades.
