What to do on the 4th of July in Costa Rica

Looking for a place to celebrate the 242nd Independence Day of the United States here in Costa Rica? Here are two activities you can enjoy with your family and friends.

Avenida EscazĂș

If you’re in EscazĂș, just west of San JosĂ©, you might just want to stop by Avenida EscazĂș with your family and friends to enjoy a live concert with the band Mustang 65, musician Kurt Dyer and DJ Sweetbo. Children are invited to enjoy the activities planned for them while watching an old cars parade. To end the evening, Avenida EscazĂș has planned a fireworks show for all the family. The event starts at 4:00 p.m., and entrance is free; all events take place at the 205 Plaza in Avenida EscazĂș. For more information visit their Facebook page.
