A Festival with Nature as Its Backdrop
Set just miles from the lively nightlife of Jaco and a stone’s throw from Costa Rica’s most iconic attractions, such as the waterfalls of La Fortuna and the pristine beaches of Manuel Antonio, Ocaso offers a unique blend of music and nature.
This idyllic beach setting has become synonymous with the festival’s emphasis on intimacy and connection, creating an environment where attendees can immerse themselves in the music while basking in Costa Rica’s natural splendor.
Beyond the Music: Experiential Adventures Await
Ocaso Festival goes beyond the beats, curating an immersive experience that invites attendees to explore Costa Rica’s wonders.
Before and after the festival, attendees can join group tours to destinations like the Arenal Volcano, La Fortuna, and Corcovado National Park, forging new friendships while discovering the country’s lush landscapes.
For adventure seekers, Jaco offers a variety of activities during the festival weekend, including ATV rides, catamaran cruises, and even thrilling crocodile tours.
These excursions ensure that your Ocaso experience is as adventurous as it is musical.
An Inclusive Space Rooted in PLUR Principles
Since its inception in 2017, Ocaso has grown from a gathering of 800-900 attendees in Tamarindo to a globally recognized event while maintaining its intimate, boutique charm.
The festival embraces the principles of PLUR—Peace, Love, Unity, and Respect, fostering a safe and inclusive space where attendees can freely express themselves.
With attendance intentionally capped to maintain a close-knit atmosphere, Ocaso attracts a diverse mix of local enthusiasts and international travelers, creating a community vibe that sets it apart from larger festivals.
