**Artists in the Making in Las Catalinas** 

   
 

We’re checking in at [Elif Academy ](https://www.lascatalinascr.com/town-map/town-map/shops/elif-academy)for an arts and crafts session where the children are busy preparing lanterns for the [**Independence Day Torchlight Parade**](https://www.lascatalinascr.com/events/independence-day-celebration) to celebrate Costa Rican Independence Day.  

 

It’s messy work, but their creativity shines through.
