PHOTO STORY: The Caribbean’s ArteViva festival

While most of Costa Rica is weathering storms, the Caribbean coast is celebrating the region’s summer weather with art, music and plenty of dancing. Puerto Viejo’s Arte Viva festival raged on all weekend long featuring artists from across the country and even a performance from Malpaís keyboardist turned Youth and Culture Minister, Manuel Obregón. Though the turnout was lower than expected, Tico Times photographer Crush Boone was there to capture the event.
