Cow Parade NY

The Cow Parade, the world’s largest public art event has finally arrived to the streets of Costa Rica; approximately 120 cows made of fiberglass will be on display in 4 different spots throughout the city:

Morazan Park - Avenida Central – Avenue 4 (National Park) – Ricardo Jimenez Boulevard.

This is certainly a pleasant surprise, and it does help to get our mind off the daily routine we experience as we move through the city of San Jose.

It does bring back some memories to me, as this event was also held in New York a while ago, (Actually 8 years ago to be precise) it began at the Pulitzer Fountain in front of the Plaza Hotel in Manhattan, even the Cow Parade Holdings President Jerry Elbaum was there.

Ok, now let’s get back to Costa Rica.

The cows, I mean the “art pieces” will be worked on by local artists throughout San Jose painted, and decorated in a mixture of different colors and other surprises. (Like hats, Wings and more stuff) Fortunately for us, the cows will be displayed from March until the month of August next year. Then they will be auctioned off to the public in order to raise funds to support different charity organizations.

Costa Rica is again #1, as San Jose is the first Central American city to stage the parade; an event that will not only help to showcase the talent of the Costa Rican artists; but will also give a little “face lift” to the city.
