Panama Edition
World Community Noticeboard Day leads today's complete edition for Panama.
Daily Edition
Official observances, world days, local context, and everyday celebrations for people who need something worth reading, sharing, or talking about today.
A day for posters, bulletins, group chats, school papers, parish notes, and the local news that actually changes a day.
Live music in every square and intersection. Djembe circles, kora players, hip-hop crews, and balafon groups all compete for attention. Ouaga becomes an open-air concert and nobody asks for a ticket. The music starts at sunset and the neighbors never complain because the neighbors are playing too.
An annual celebration of Panama's world-renowned coffee, especially the Geisha variety grown in the highlands of Chiriqui province. The Geisha coffee of Boquete has set auction records, selling for over $1,000 per pound and commanding $75 to $100 per cup in specialty cafes worldwide. The festival brings together farmers, roasters, baristas, and coffee lovers for tastings, farm tours, and competitions. The volcanic soil and high altitude of Boquete create the perfect conditions for this extraordinary bean, which was brought from Ethiopia to Panama in the 1960s and rediscovered in the early 2000s as a specialty variety.
You encounter endemic birds like the Cape Verde kite and the striking Cape Verde warbler throughout these volcanic islands. You commonly see cats and dogs as pets, with many residents also keeping chickens and goats for practical purposes. ACADA celebrates the world's pets, and helps assure better care.
