The bull fights in Zapote have been cancelled again this year, not because of health concerns but because none of the TV outlets submitted a bid to broadcast them. The television revenue was essential to holding the fiestas. In other words, nobody gave a shit. TV stations have said they are looking at broadcasting fights from smaller town (with lower fees?).

Bull fighting here is different from other countries in that the bulls aren't wounded or killed. Ticos on the other hand are routinely tossed and trampled.

So, this year
No light parade
No bull fights
** I haven't read anything about the Horse Parade or the Palmares music festival, but I doubt these will happen either. That just leaves banging putas for entertainment. Happy Hookerdays!

It sounds like "cancel culture" has reached South America

And gored.
I was in SL 5-6 years ago having dinner and I could not believe what I was seeing on TV. 40-50 ticos and a few ticas were in the bull ring running around antagonizing and daring the big bull in the ring with them. As mentioned above, people were getting tossed around like rag dolls, trampled and gored. When one of them got hurt/injured, they would go to commercial break, then come back for some more of the same. F'n crazy.

Well.... as the saying goes "you phuck with the bull, you get the horn"

I hope it was the Ribeye

That's why the motorboating is so good.

Th festival in Palmares is still scheduled to happen and Teletica will be broadcast the bullfights from Christmas Day until January 2. It's worth a watch if you are in CR.

BOOM! Palmares festival was just cancelled.

This is bad for the locals. Sort of a 'meh' for mongers who never went anyway. What's next, the Chili Festival?

I heard that it was canceled because of bulls getting their feelings hurt.
