Events Costa Rica:
Biofestival in Costa Rica

Costa Rican singer-songwriters Malpaís are headlining a program of artists set to sing for the trees this weekend in the Caribbean slope town of Guapiles.

About an hour's drive northeast from the capital, the Biofestival kicked off Thursday and runs through Sunday to coincide with World Environment Day. This year's focus is on green practices and reforestation particularly in Costa Rica's northern Caribbean region.

Biofestival seeks to stimulate companies, decision makers and leaders of the northern Caribbean area to carry out actions toward an efficient use of energy, said Yorleny León, director of the Atlantic Region Sustainable Development Association, the Costa Rica festival's organizer. She cited reforestation and conscientious wood cultivation as measures that could be improved to keep the region green.

Last year the festival drew 15,000 people and saw 2,500 trees planted, the organization said in a statement.

In addition to the music, festival-goers will partake in face-painting, theater, sports and dancing, as well as exhibits of eco-friendly products, talks on sustainable environment practices and tree planting activities.
