The festival of arts began in the middle of the nineties, like a way to approach Costa Ricans with scenic arts, especially the theater.
The festival will be on the station of the railroad from the Pacific, that this year fulfills its anniversary number 100.

The National Theatre
The National Theatre was built in the year 1890. In the construction of this theater they intervened Costa Rican, Belgian and Italian. Being a legitimate Costa Rican pride, has been complemented with the 'Plaza de la Cultura', the one that counts on art exposition galleries and cultural conferences with extensive and modern design which contrasts especially in its modernist style with the classic of the National Theatre.
This theater has seen to pass for its setting to the majority of the large theatrical companies of the world. Truly is an architectural feat and is a commemorative one that the love by the culture is alive and in good condition in Costa Rica.
