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.
