Celebrating local life, tradition and of course Cypriot wine is the annual Limassol Wine Festival – a highly-anticipated event for Limassolians. This year it will return to the heart of the city towards the end of summer.
Age-old local celebrations centred around wine, dozens of local wine exhibitors, food and cultural events will take over the Limassol Municipal Gardens from September 28 to October 6. This will be the 63rd edition of the festival and its organisers are getting ready to welcome visitors of all ages, local residents and tourists. Happening during the grape harvest season, preparations are currently underway for the new edition and Limassol Municipality is also accepting proposals for musical, theatrical, and folklore events to be featured during the festival.
Its cultural programme typically involves concerts and theatre performances at the Municipal Garden Theatre Marios Tokas, concerts by small ensembles in front of the big Cypriot man statue (Vrakas) and small musical performances in restaurants. Proposals are also being accepted for multimedia shows, artistic workshops and kid’s activities all in line with the theme of the Wine Festival and that pay tribute to Greek and Cypriot music and comic theatre. Applications are accepted until August 2 at 12pm.
