Carnival Sunday: Around the middle of the day Sunday, a parade of thousands of women dressed in Panama’s national costume called pollera ensues in the Cinta Costera.

A pollera is a large one-piece handmade skirt decorated with colorful embroidery. Polleras are generally accompanied with family heirloom jewelry, such as gold and pearl mosquetas and tembleques. The very expensive outfits are worn by groups of women in the parade and by those who simply stroll through the crowd showing off the elaborate outfit.
