On May 30 and 31, EARTH University celebrated one of the most important events of the year: the EARTH Multicultural Fair.
Since 1993, EARTH students have organized the Fair with the goal of offering an unforgettable weekend of culture, food and entertainment for the whole family. The ultimate objective of the Fair is to raise money to help pay the travel costs for parents of fourth-year students, who will come to Costa Rica in December to participate in the Graduation Ceremony.
This year, EARTH received over 11,000 visitors who enjoyed approximately 12,500 plates of traditional food throughout the weekend, in addition to the products and services offered by more than 50 local vendors in attendance.
Other activities included a recreational mountain biking event (2,200 cyclists), a recreational walk (200 participants), an oxcart parade and concerts performed by Costa Rican bands Los Ajenos and Malpaís.
