This Sunday the fourth Annual Osa Peninsula Earth Day Festival is again expected to attract hundreds of participants from communities throughout Costa Rica's Osa Peninsula on the southern Pacific. The theme for this year is “Living in Peace with Nature,” presenting a variety of practical applications for ecological stewardship.
The festival will take place from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the public waterfront and campground area known as the Yacht Club, at the entrance to Parrot Bay Village. A giant tent will be pitched to host activities and exhibits and shelter the event from the always-anticipated rain showers.
In 2004, the Osa Peninsula joined with other communities around the world, spearheading a festival in downtown Puerto Jiménez. For the past four years, it has continued to offer free activities and free transport from neighboring rural communities.
The association Women of the Osa, the Environment and Energy Ministry, the Costa Rican Association for Nature Conservation and other local organizations and residents are organizing the event as an ongoing effort to raise public awareness and education about conservation and environmental stewardship on the Osa Peninsula.
