ABOUT THE LIVING LIFE IN COSTA RICA BLOG

I (Vicki Skinner - aka "THE Sarong Goddess") created this blog in 2007 to share DETAILED Finds•Lists•Info•Events•Experiences to help bring more EASE to people living in, visiting or thinking of moving to Costa Rica since DETAILS are NOT easy to find!
I’m NOT an expert (an "expert" 2 ME knows 101%-NOT me). I believe in sharin info•helping where I can! And with over 2,200 entries, so some things might be out of date, so if you find old info PLEASE help each other by getting the updated info & sharing it with me to revise. At least you have some basic info to get you started.
VOLUNTEER TO HELP:
Better yet - do you have extra time on your hands & looking for a volunteer project? Since this blog is a labor of love & RARELY does anyone share a donation (even though MANY have said how much it's helped them), I could REALLY use help updating info. Spanish speakers ESPECIALLY welcome since my VicLish can be somewhat limited at times!!

DONATE:
Has my blog helped in any way? Helped find something•brought more EASE? More exposure or business?
I welcome you to show YOUR appreciation for my efforts!
ANY size DONATION is APPRECIATED!

Fireworks • Fuegos Artificiales and Pets in Costa Rica




MOST POPULAR TIMES in Costa Rica for
FIREWORKS • FUEGOS ARTIFICIALES

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE
Prepare your pets ahead of time - ESPECIALLY  if you're not going to be there so they don't freak out or worse!!

  NEW YEARS EVE - December 31
(this is an AMAZINGLY INSANE night that is MAGNIFICENT to watch!!  Try to find an awesome place to watch the from!!  [MY FAV is getting a room up in HotelPicoBlanco.com up in San Antonio de Escazu where ALL rooms overlook the WHOLE Valley and are only $40 and $60/night + 13% tax [I think they actually go up those nights $10 or $20].  Tell Steven, Laurie [a guy] and Lucia Vicki sends a BIG HUG!!  Though welcoming in '12 was strange as in the past I found most fireworks went on for HOURS but this past New Years it was pretty much from midnight till about 12:15am.  Times are a bit tough I guess)

CHRISTMAS EVE - December 24
ESPECIALLY STRONG around Midnight and for about an hour afterwards.

 The WHOLE month of December
(ESPECIALLY after people get their Alguinaldo/extra months pay that's due between December 1-20.  This is MEGA ANNOYING both as a human that can get a bit jumpy/sensitive and BIG TIME for your pets!!)

September 15 
Costa Rica Independence Day

 July 4 
U.S. Independence Day
(I did notice a bit of it for this day but not a lot)


OPENING and CLOSINGS of FESTIVALS  and WEDDINGS

 HINTS to Help Your PETS During Times of Fireworks:

First, read my flier at the top for some and I'll be adding more soon.
I've found the THUNDERSHIRT has helped me TREMENDOUSLY when House•Pet Sitting for in the middle of Thunder Storms and Fireworks displays.  Details on where to find it in Costa Rica coming shortly.

I actually SPECIALIZE in helping pets in fear (or terror) of Thunder • Fireworks • Wind
