The following is a pretty complete list of the national holidays and festivals or "ferias" in Panama to date. Chances are, when you're in-country, you'll run into one of these celebrations, and chances are you'll enjoy it. Panamanians love to celebrate so even if your vacation has not fallen on a holiday or festival, it's most likely that some sporting event or social achievement will warrant partying in the streets and parades.
