On Tuesday January 22 afternoon, the Escuelita Summer School students enlivened the streets of Nosara during their colorful masquerade for the 2013 Nosara Fair kick off.  On Wednesday 23, the second night of the festivities drew many visitors to see the folkloric dance performance by Serapio Lopez School Dance Group and the classical music concert by the 25th of July Symphonic Orchestra.

The rich repertoire that included pieces like Great Movie Adventures, Amadeus Favorites and Guanacaste Por Siempre offered Nosarans the opportunity to listen young talents of Guanacaste.

Although the program for Wednesday night suggested signing agreement of cooperation between SINEM and Nosara Integral Development Association, it was canceled due to the absence of officials from the ministry of culture. According to Marcos Avila, president of the Nosara Integral Development Association the busy summer schedule that the ministry has was the explanation.

The Voice of Nosara will be providing daily photo galleries on the web throughout the Nosara Fair.
