Raging the largest developed beach town in Guanacaste, Ocaso Underground Music Festival keeps Tamarindo wide awake following the turn of the year.

Located on the Nicoya Peninsula on the Northern Pacific coast of Costa Rica, the festival is returning for its fourth year, bringing back thousands of underground electronic music enthusiasts who will experience a days-long party in beach paradise.

And this year, the festival hopes to achieve a carbon-neutral footprint, according to an event spokesperson.

Ocaso Music Festival will be held from Jan. 9-12, 2020. Read more at ocasofestival.com and in The Tico Times:
