As yearly tradition dictates, Costa Rica celebrates and breathes its “Civic Week” in commemoration of its independence in the month of September.
The Civic Week is the appropriate framework for the development of commemorative civic events related to the anniversary of Costa Rican Independence. The focus of these activities is a series of civic celebrations highlighting the topic of values duly authorized as formative events within the educational process.
This year, big and small will join the party, with dances and costumes, patriotic corners, music and traditional food. There will be activities such as the torch run, the lantern parade and the evening participation in the civic week, culminating in the display of the September 15th parade, when drum rolls resound and the streets fill up with colorful parades reflecting the joy with which Central Americans began their path of freedom.
