Experiences from previous years have shown that more and more Surinamese living abroad travel to Suriname in order to celebrate New Years Eve. This movement can partly be credited to the yearly "Owru Yari" event and the convivial atmosphere it creates.

This atmosphere, starting from mid-december onwards, is typified by being a big cosy, unorganised and spontaneous reunion of friends and family members.

The Surifesta Foundation was established in 1997 by initiatives of the private sector aiming to coordinate the events around December 31 and to improve tourism to Suriname by changing Paramaribo into one big, joyful entertainment area, the place to be.

Wanneer: vanaf medio tot eind december 2011
Waar: diverse lokaties
