Organizers have put together a unique event which will allow fans to see their favorite cows for the last time.
On Sunday, August 3rd, fans will be able to head out to the Paseo Colon in downtown San Jose to enjoy a parade in honor of the Cow Parade. The theme and special guests has been provided by the recently opened agricultural and livestock theme park, Panaca.
Several live farm animals will parade down the streets of the Paseo Colon alongside the stars of the Cow Parade. Live cows, ox, horses, sheep, pigs, goats and dogs will entertain the crowd along with live traditional music provided by the rural cimarrona.
The parade will kick off at 9:30am from the Paseo Colon and will end at the Central Park. Other acts such as typical dances, lassoing cowboys and dog tricks will put an extra spice to this event.
The auctioning of the cows will be divided into two events. The first auction will take place on September 3rd at the Costa Rican National Museum. A total of 60 cows will be auctioned during this first event and another 60 during a second event which is still to be announced.
Prices for each unique hand painted cow will begin at $2,000 and some are expected to reach at least $7,000. A 70% of the money obtained from these auctions will be donated to 4 different organizations.
