Afro-Costa Rican cultural park was inaugurated, November 6, 2007
The residents of Limon, through their art, music, dance and warmth which make visitors feel at home, have joint hands to turn the Afro-Costa Rican Cultural Park into an area of fun, laughter, imagination, and creativity.
This new cultural area was inaugurated recently at the Parque Vargas (Vargas Park) located in the province of Limon with the rhythm of calypso and with the presence of the dance troupe Los Basileros.
The idea surfaced as an initiative of scholars from the University of Costa Rica campus located in Limon, Sonia Vargas, and Carlos Saavedra, sponsored by competitive funds for the improvement and strengthening of the Society-University Relationship.
According to the professor, Carlos Saavedra, this project was created to satisfy the needs of the cultural sector in Limon for an area where artisans, dancers, musicians, and painters can present their artistic work to both locals and foreigners.
