Events Costa Rica Mule Festival

Costa Rica's Mule Festival in Parrita takes place again this year as usual. This Costa Rica event is held till February 3rd. Located near Manuel Antonio National Park and the fishing town of Quepos.

Many years ago a few farmers from Parrita began with the practice of mule races nearby Esterillos Beach in the Mid Pacific. The hobby that started out as way of having fun has become one of Parrita’s most popular traditions.

The Asociación para el Bienestar Parriteño (ASOBIPA) [Parrita’s Welfare Association], has devoted itself to consolidating this tradition, reinforcing the festival with the two-horse races and tractor rally. It is expected to have one of the most colorful festivals taking place within the last years carried out in 2008, hoping to receive national and international tourists so they can get to know one of the funniest races carried out in Costa Rica.

Activities will begin on January 24 to February 03 with the awaited Mule Race. In addition everyday there will be: livestock and agricultural machinery show, craft sale, ‘corridas de toros’, typical food, karaoke, dances, and the atmosphere of the “ La Mulita Alegre” bar.
