Picnic Paradise: A Second Helping of Musical Magic in Pedregal

Last weekend, Pedregal was abuzz with the first slice of the “Picnic” festival, an extravaganza so delightful that attendees are still humming the tunes. Brace yourselves, music aficionados, because this Saturday promises an encore that could very well eclipse the inaugural bash. With four stages pulsating with eclectic beats, “Picnic” is where melodies meet merriment under the open sky.

The air in Pedregal will once again thrum with excitement as thousands flock to witness a mélange of musical genius. The festival boasts an enviable roster of international maestros alongside a dedicated platform that shines the spotlight on Costa Rica’s own symphonic talents. In a twist that’s stirred the pot, David Bisbal has bowed out, making way for the sensational Aterciopelados from Columbia and Darrell from the United States to steal the show.

Gates swing open at the stroke of noon, ushering in what’s set to be an unforgettable tapestry of sounds and souls. If you’re plotting your pilgrimage to this musical Mecca, be warned: the journey promises to be as packed as the lineup. Fear not, for the Marvi company is dispatching buses from Cartago, Curridabat, San Jose, La Sabana, Moravia, and Heredia, ensuring no fan is left behind. Bear in mind, though, the magic portal to this auditory wonderland closes at 9pm sharp.

For those yet to claim their pass to paradise, a visit to www.starticket.com is in order. Tickets, a golden key to this kingdom of harmony, are pegged between ¢75,000 and ¢100,000, exclusive to the 18 and over crowd. But “Picnic” is more than just a concert; it’s a carnival of creativity. A bustling market awaits entrepreneurs, 20 food trucks stand ready to satiate every craving, amusement rides beckon the young at heart, and food and drink stands promise to keep spirits high.

So, if you thought last Saturday was a spectacle, brace yourself. The second act of “Picnic” is poised to be a symphony of the senses, a testament to the timeless power of music to unite and uplift. See you at the encore!
