Spend a day paying tribute to the diversity of this nations spirit.
Celebrate the Tico Farmers & Cattle Ranchers as they share their stories through traditional dance, folklore and cuisine.
It’s the dust, the mud, the man and the bull. It’s the roar of the crowd, the rhythm of a culture, music in the wind.
It’s the white of his knuckle in the mist. It’s a feeling, it’s a knowing that each man is good in the sight of a great spirit.
But, don’t mess with the bull!
