There is always something happening in Cyprus. From traditional village festivals and open-air concerts to sporting events, food celebrations and colourful national holidays, the island has far more to discover than beautiful beaches and warm Mediterranean sunshine.

To make it easier to find out what is happening during your stay, we have launched the new Kama Dona Homes Cyprus Events Guide.

Whether you are planning your holiday months in advance or wondering what to do this weekend, our guide brings events from across Cyprus together in one convenient place.

Discover What’s On in Cyprus

Cyprus has a busy calendar throughout the year. Summer brings outdoor concerts, traditional festivals and celebrations beside the sea, while the cooler months are filled with sporting events, carnivals, cultural occasions and local festivities.

Our Cyprus Events Guide has been designed to help holidaymakers quickly discover events taking place during their visit.

You can search the guide by date, choose the type of event you are interested in and narrow the results down by town or area. This makes it particularly useful if you are staying in places such as Protaras, Paralimni or Ayia Napa and want to see what is happening nearby.

Live Music and Outdoor Concerts

There is something rather special about listening to live music on a warm Cyprus evening.

Throughout the year, and particularly during the summer months, towns and villages across the island host concerts in municipal squares, amphitheatres, harbours and other outdoor venues.

These range from large music festivals to smaller performances celebrating Cypriot and Greek music. Many municipal events are also free to attend, making them a wonderful addition to an evening out during your holiday.

Our events guide includes a dedicated Live Music category, so you can quickly find concerts and music festivals taking place while you are in Cyprus.

Experience Traditional Cyprus

Some of the most memorable events in Cyprus are the local festivals held in towns and villages throughout the island.

These celebrations provide a wonderful opportunity to experience a different side of Cyprus, with traditional food, music, dancing and local produce often taking centre stage.

In the Famagusta district alone you will find celebrations dedicated to local strawberries, potatoes and other produce, alongside traditional village festivals and larger cultural events.

If you enjoy discovering local traditions while travelling, take a look at the Cultural events listed in our what’s on in Cyprus guide.

Sporting Events Across the Island

Cyprus is also a fantastic destination for sport, particularly during spring, autumn and winter when the temperatures are ideal for outdoor activities.

The island hosts road races, marathons, swimming events, cycling competitions, rallies and other sporting occasions throughout the year.

You do not necessarily need to participate either. Many events offer excellent opportunities for spectators, especially when courses pass through scenic coastal areas, mountain villages or historic town centres.

Use the Sport filter in our events guide to see what is coming up during your stay.

Cyprus Bank Holidays and National Celebrations

Knowing when Cyprus bank holidays take place can also be useful when planning your holiday.

Some public holidays are accompanied by parades, religious processions, village celebrations or special events, while shops, banks and public services may operate different opening hours.

Important occasions such as Orthodox Easter, Green Monday, Kataklysmos and national holidays are part of the island's cultural calendar and can be fascinating times to experience Cyprus.

We have therefore included a dedicated Bank Holidays section within the guide alongside music, cultural and sporting events.

Events Near Protaras, Paralimni and Ayia Napa

Guests staying on the east coast are particularly well placed to enjoy some of Cyprus's most enjoyable summer events.

Protaras, Paralimni, Deryneia, Ayia Napa, Sotira and the surrounding villages regularly host concerts, food festivals, traditional celebrations and community events.

Many take place outdoors in the evening, when temperatures are more comfortable and town squares and coastal areas come alive with music, food and entertainment.

It is an easy way to add something different to your holiday, especially if you fancy an evening away from the usual restaurants and beaches.

Plan Your Cyprus Holiday Around an Event

If you already know when you are travelling, simply select your dates in the guide to see what is happening while you are here.

If your holiday dates are still flexible, browsing upcoming Cyprus events can also provide a little inspiration. You might decide to time your visit around a local festival, live concert, carnival or sporting event that you would particularly like to experience.

We are continuing to build the guide so it can become a useful resource for both our guests and anyone planning a holiday to Cyprus.
