Festival de la Naranja

The Festival de la Naranja (Orange Fair) is a rather new activity organized by the comunity of Ciudad Colon mainly to promote the sale of oranges and citrics during the harvest season around February.
There is music, dances, horse parades (tope), sales of local crafts, typical foods, and the sale of juicy and sweet citric fruits.
Ciudad Colon is relatively near the metropolitan area and has a first class highway, so it is an easy one day outing to get there.
