PHOTOS: The 2019 Festival de la Luz in San José
The holiday season was in full swing Saturday night during the Festival de la Luz in San José, where thousands of Ticos gathered to watch lively performers, synchronized marching bands and decorative floats parade down the city’s main avenue.
Here are some of our favorite shots from the evening.
