The lighting of San Jose is a Deember tradition, that includes the lighting of Paseo Colon and Avenida 2, and the rotondas of the Circunvalación (Ruta 39), among many other Calles and Avenidas of the downtown core of San Jose.

The CNFL had planned to install 25 lighting elements in the 7 roundabouts. The Public Lighting team is now going to analyze where other points these decorative elements could be located.

The lighting is done ahead of the major annual event of the Festival de la Luz, which this year takes place this Saturday, December 16.
