Be it dance or raising the flag routines, the streets are filled with people, especially when it\u2019s time to sing the beautiful national anthem (at precisely 6:00 pm). Of course, there are tons of traditional foods available, ranging from \u2018<em>Gallo Pinto<\/em>\u2019 to \u2018<em>Fried Yuca and Plantain\u2019 <\/em>or if you\u2019re feeling something sweet, \u2018<em>Arroz con Leche\u2019 <\/em>or Rice Pudding. &#x1f924;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All these celebrations are widely available and free to the public, so if you are planning a visit to Costa Rica, follow the beat of the drums and lyres on September 15th and come enjoy the Folkloric shows, typical dancing and music that best represent Costa Rica\u2019s values and traditions. &#x1f1e8;&#x1f1f7;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thank you for reading, catch you in the next one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8211; Properties in Costa Rica.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>September 15th is a special time for Ticos and Central America.
