On this day, Costa Ricans (and most Latin Americans) celebrate Columbus (Colón in Spanish), his "discovery" of the Americas, and the Hispanic influence on local culture, hence "Dia de la Raza." The city of Limon, on the coast, celebrates Carnival during the week preceding the 12th, so if you're looking for a better party, go to the beach. In San Jose, things are more subdued, but almost everyone has the day off, and processions and celebrations (and perhaps protests) are numerous. Check local listings for specifics functions.
