The story

Feria de La Chorrera in La Chorrera

La Chorrera, the capital of Panama Oeste province just west of Panama City, holds its own municipal fair showcasing local agriculture, crafts, and folk traditions including the region's distinct cumbia chorrerana music and dance style.

La Chorrera sits close enough to Panama City to function almost as a satellite of the capital, yet the city and its surrounding district have retained a distinct cultural identity built on agriculture, craft production, and folk traditions that differ from both the capital and the more distant Azuero interior.
