San José
Day of San José
Capital's Patron Saint Celebrations
Avenida 2 y Calle 4
San José, 1000
The religious celebrations of the 19th of March take place in all towns and neighborhoods with the popular name of San Jose. In the capital, for example, all Ticos dress smartly for what is the city's most important party of the year. Most "fiestas" feature lots of good food, music, rides, horse parades and Tico-style bullfights (in which the bull is teased, but not harmed). This is also the traditional day to visit the volcano.
