The Sugar Cane Festival in Aguadulce kicked off its festivities with a gala and a parade. With a display of joy and tradition, the Sugar Cane Festival officially presented its queens in an event that exalts the cultural identity of the Coclesana region. The event brought together residents and visitors in a festive atmosphere that highlights the historical and cultural importance of sugar production in the province of Coclé. The parade, which traveled through the main avenues of the district, served as a stage for the future queens to share with the people of Aguadulce. The event not only celebrates the beauty of its queens but also reaffirms Aguadulce's commitment to preserving its customs related to the milling and derivatives of sugarcane. The Sugar Cane, Guarapo and its Derivatives Festival is consolidated annually as a platform for boosting internal tourism and local economic development. This activity is one of the most anticipated events on the festive calendar, as it represents the first official contact of the queens with their community before the coronation events and typical parades that characterize this festival. The representatives of the Sugar Cane Festival wore outfits that pay homage to field work and the elegance of the Panamanian woman, accompanied by musical groups that enlivened the attendees. Through these presentations, the aim is to keep alive the heritage of producers and artisans who have made sugarcane a symbol of identity for the region.
