It’s time to ditch the mittens for picture perfect sunsets, palm trees, and pumpkin pie! The holiday season is in full swing in Jaco, Costa Rica, as expats and vacationers from the U.S. prep for Thanksgiving.

Even though Costa Rica doesn’t recognize Thanksgiving as a national holiday, there is no shortage of people giving thanks in paradise this year.

Jaco Beach Community Thanksgiving Fellowship

It is important to stay connected to community and family traditions when traveling or moving abroad. The Horizon Church Thanksgiving Dinner is a favorite Jaco tradition for many expats and visitors from the U.S. This event is open to anyone who enjoys a good turkey dinner and all are welcome!

The church provides the turkeys and guests bring their favorite side dish or dessert to share. It’s the perfect opportunity to show off grandma’s best Thanksgiving recipe while enjoying food and fellowship in paradise.

The festivities begin at 5pm on Thursday, November 24 at the Iglesia Radical building, on the Costanera, 50 meters south of the fire station.
