5 fun festivals to visit in Costa Rica
If you are the going out kind of person and you constantly seeking to go on wild adventures, take risks, dance the nights away, meet new cultures, get lost, life could get a little expensive. But there are ways to enjoy all these activities without maxing your credit cards.
Here I talk to you about 5 festivals from different types of disciplines I enjoy A LOT, I hope you do too.
Festival Internacional del Diseño
Held every year during March in San Jose at a very special location, the old National Customs warehouse. During this days you can meet absolute idols of international design, hear them give speeches and some give workshops you can attend to.
For any design driven person, it is a party of “Wow” and “Sigh”

Paseo Gastronómico La Luz
Lately, the foodies have taken almost every weekend available to enjoy the wide variety of options to eat in Costa Rica. Food Truck fests and gastronomic festivals have been gathering people, but the first is the Paseo La Luz, located in Barrio Escalante.
This is a day to taste food from the Caribbean, grilled meat or burgers, Lebanese food, Italian… you name it. Next edition will be held on April 24th, so don’t miss it!
Oh, and most stands take credit card ;)
Envision Festival
This is days in which I do not care for anything but music and meditating, the whole four days. It is sort of a tiny Burning Man, for those who have gone.
Held by the beach during February makes you feel the bursting tropical vibes through all your body. I always get to meet good people and we have managed to stay friends ever since.

Festival de coreógrafos Graciela Moreno
I’ve only attended once, but it made me feel a mix of jealousy and thrill.
Artists performing are so talented you’ll have goosebumps in every single act. It’s named after Mrs. Moreno who was the National Theater director for 29 years. Daughter of the famous Dr. Ricardo Moreno Cañas well-known medical doctor and politician during the WWI
If you enjoy watching this artistic physical expression it’s a must.
