The story

Feria de Soná in Sona

Sona, a farming and ranching town in Veraguas province, holds a regional agricultural and commercial fair showcasing the province's cattle and crop production, part of a broader pattern of provincial fairs held across Panama's interior.

Veraguas holds a distinctive place in Panama's geography as the country's only province with coastline on both the Caribbean and Pacific, giving it an unusually varied landscape from coastal lowlands to interior mountains.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

Veraguas is Panama's only province touching both the Caribbean and Pacific coasts, and Sona sits within its agricultural heartland, giving the fair a role in showcasing a province whose farming and ranching economy is less internationally documented than Chiriqui's or the Azuero peninsula's

02

The mystery stays covered

As with other Panamanian provincial fairs, it likely provides the district's main annual venue for agricultural competition, craft sales, and community gathering
