Costa Rica Party
Halloween is not the most popular festivity in Costa Rica, in fact a high number of people wouldn’t celebrate it. For decades this celebration has been considered by many as something unrelated to the Costa Rican culture, however new generations of “Ticos” are trying to reintroduce the festivity and year after year the influence seems to increase considerably. Young Costa Ricans use Halloween as the perfect excuse for partying.
Many bars and night clubs organize the popular “Halloween Party Nights” that include costume challenges, dancing and original special events.
Halloween in Costa Rica is mostly for adults to enjoy, you will rarely see children knocking doors asking for candies as this might be considered dangerous unless you live in a very exclusive neighborhood. Adults on the other side can find endless options for partying, eating and have fun.
It’s relatively easy to buy a Halloween costume in Costa Rica or the accessories to make your own, prices vary a lot but in general they are affordable. The best location to enjoy Halloween in Costa Rica is the capital city San Jose where most restaurants, bars and clubs embrace the celebration throughout the month of October.
