The country is fully immersed in Independence Day festivities, marking the beginning of traditional torch runs and civic events that commemorate national history and freedom.

• The Independence Torch Relay: As is tradition every September, the torch symbolizing Central American freedom has begun its journey through national territory, advancing from the northern border toward the province of Cartago, where main events will culminate on September 15th. Authorities maintain special traffic and security operations to accompany students and delegations along the route.
• Band Festivals and Activities in San José: The capital has strongly resumed the anticipated Band Festival along Avenida Central, alongside artistic presentations, entrepreneur fairs, and folkloric displays in public spaces such as Plaza de la Democracia.
• International Cultural Exchange: As part of the season’s broad cultural agenda, Antoni Gaudí’s Casa Batlló photographic exhibition remains open to the public in key urban spaces across San José and Cartago, enriching patriotic celebrations with an introduction to Catalan modernism and international music.

These activities reflect the civic fervor of the citizenry, combining pride in patriotic traditions with globally projected artistic events.
