Limassol’s biggest annual celebration pushed back
The Limassol Wine Festival changes dates this year and is moved to October in an effort to extend the tourist season. Leaving behind its August-September rendezvous, the week-long festival in the heart of Limassol will come a little later this year, on October 7 to 15.
The 62nd anniversary event will have a rich programme including live performances, folk art workshops for children, an exhibition and a huge variety of wines to try. Highlighting the very best of Cypriot wines and wineries and showcasing the island’s oeno-traditions is what the festival brings every year, not only with activities in central Limassol but Limassol district villages.
With still a while to go until the eight-day event takes place, the extension gives the Municipality more time to create a big celebration that can welcome thousands of visitors, both locals and tourists, who can enjoy the island’s treasures in terms of gastronomy, music, hospitality and of course, wine!
