Panamanian folklore

Folklore is rich and varied in every region of our country and is represented by the costume - skirt, which together with the food and traditional dishes as well as music and dance combine to offer the most joyous carnival held in Panama across the country in February. Our skirt is one of the brightest and choicest among the world's traditional costumes.
