Enjoy the Fair in David – March 16 -26th

If you are in Chiriqui, you should check out the David International Fair 2017!  It runs from March 16th through 26th this year.

You can get a preview of the Fair by clicking on any of images below to start a slideshow. Then scroll down to read about the fair.


The weekends will be especially crowded.  More than 300K visitors are expected this year. The David Fair has all sorts of things:  horses, cows, car and tractor dealerships, plants, traditional dancing, and much more.

Handicrafts, Art, Furniture
If you are looking to buy some handicrafts, paintings, furniture, or hammocks is it worth your time to check out the stalls.  There are both outdoor and indoor stands of a wide variety of merchandise.

Gardening
If you are a gardener, make sure you check out the area of the fair where they sell plants. There is an enormous variety of plants for sale.  You may want to go during the day, when it is less crowded.

Admission

I believe admission still only costs  $2 , $1 if you are retired.  Admission is free if you are under 8 years old.  If you want to see the “zoo”, it is an extra 50 cents, which you pay at the zoo entrance.

I have written about the David Fair a few times in the past.  If you are interested, here the links to those posts.
