Event details
Step back in time and experience the rustic charm of rural Panamá at the Mi Ranchito Festival. Since the 1950s, this festival has celebrated the traditions of local communities who build ranchos (small houses) and sell delicious local food, seafood, and agricultural products. Enjoy the coronation of a festival queen, the symbolic burning of a rancho to ward off evil spirits, traditional weddings, and a variety of activities like musical competitions, horseback riding, and a grand parade.
