This is a beautiful event, attend if you can. I have attended a Pollera parade on Calle 50 in Panama City, very beautiful. The following is from the Panama America News:
Date Change for the Thousand Pollera Parade on January 5
We initially planned to conduct the parade
on November 17, but was changed because by then it rains and skirts
deteriorate and tarnish.
After the announcement that parade of "Thousand Pollera" would be
held on January 6 next year, Deputy Carlos Afu, announced today that the
date was moved up to the 5th of that month. The
date change is due to Macaracas that residents in the province of Los
Santos, were dissatisfied with the initiative since January 6th is
traditionally established to celebrate Three Kings Day. According
Afu, the change was made so that residents area can participate in
the activities for the date, and said that advertising in Thousand
Pollera Parade, promoted Kings Day. initially
planned to conduct the parade on November 17, but was changed because
that date rains and skirts deteriorate and tarnish.
