The traditional Las Mil Polleras Parade will return to the City of Las Tablas on Saturday, January 16, 2027after authorities agreed to authorize the carrying out of this activity in Porras Park, while the restoration work on the Santa Librada Church continues.
The decision was made during a meeting headed by the Minister of Culture, María Eugenia Herrera, in which the holding of the 2027 carnivals was also discussed. Although there is authorization to develop activities in this sector, the final decision will remain in the hands of the organizers, in accordance with the conditions that arise during the progress of the work.
The Panama Tourism Authority (ATP) confirmed through its social networks the return of the Thousand Polleras Parade and announced that registration to participate will be open until December 18, 2026.
Delegations interested in being part of this celebration can register through the website www.atp.gob.pa. The event seeks to once again bring together participants from different regions of the country to exalt the pollera as a symbol of Panamanian identity and cultural heritage.
The return of the parade also represents an opportunity for the economy of the Azuero region, due to the movement generated by the arrival of visitors and delegations, benefiting hotels, restaurants, businesses, artisans and entrepreneurs.
With this authorization, Las Tablas is preparing to once again host one of the country’s main folklore celebrations, while the restoration works of the Santa Librada Church advance.
