The story

Feria Turistica del Clima in Atenas

Atenas has celebrated its Feria Turistica del Clima annually since 2005 during the last week of April, opening with a 6 a.m. farmers market and expanding into concerts, artisan booths and traditional food stalls, built around the town's National Geographic-cited reputation for one of the best climates in the world.

Atenas built its own tourism fair around a single documented claim: a National Geographic magazine article once named the town's climate among the best in the world, an average temperature of 23.7 degrees Celsius with a long dry season, and the community has celebrated that reputation annually since 2005 during the last week of April.

01

The place changes

Unlike most Costa Rican town fairs built around a patron saint, harvest crop or historical event, Atenas's fair is founded explicitly on an outside publication's endorsement, a National Geographic article naming the town's climate among the world's best, giving it an unusually documented, non-legendary origin story

02

The mystery stays covered

farmers market opening is a specific, deliberately timed feature distinguishing this fair's first day from the later-starting concerts and artisan stalls that fill the rest of the multi-day event
