The story

Festival de Culturas Indigenas Rey Curre in Rey Curre

Rey Curre's Festival Cultural Indigena, running since 1992 and organized around a yearly theme such as language and territory, brings free public exhibitions on Boruca gastronomy, art, archaeology, medicinal plants and traditional architecture together with live music and Boruca-language dialogue, distinct from, though close in timing to, the community's separately documented Juego de los Diablitos masked dance.

Rey Curre's Festival Cultural Indigena is a documented annual event dating back to 1992, distinct from, though scheduled near, the community's Juego de los Diablitos masked dance, and built instead around a broad showcase of Boruca-people cultural life: exhibits on local gastronomy, indigenous art, archaeological heritage and medicinal-plant knowledge, alongside traditional architecture displays, live music and public dialogue conducted partly in the Boruca language.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

With a documented run back to 1992 and several decades of consistent annual observance behind it, Rey Curre's festival has an institutional history unusual among small indigenous-community events in Costa Rica, organized each year around a specific theme, recent editions including language and territory, that shapes talks, exhibits and workshops rather than repeating a fixed program

02

The mystery stays covered

The event deliberately separates itself from the community's Juego de los Diablitos: it is a broader cultural showcase covering gastronomy, art, archaeology, medicinal plants, architecture and language, not the masked dance-drama itself, even though both are documented traditions of the same Rey Curre community
