Costa Rica's Festival of Light

The evening opened with a panorama of fireworks and a live performance from runner-up Latin American Idol Eduardo Aguirre.

Moments later the country's top marching bands, dance crews and cheerleaders took to the streets with energy and lively music to back them up. They were interspersed with ornately-costumed rollerbladers, richly lit floats and a crew of ATVers riding on their back wheels.

Highlights include a brightly lit trailerbed carrying the sub-20 soccer team (who made it to the World Cup quarterfinals), a tourism float with live actors paddling down a river and rockclimbing and several Disney-themed displays.
