The Carnival is a great popular festival which has been celebrated in Limassol and all over Cyprus for more than a hundred years. The Municipality of Limassol organizes all the events and activities in open and readily accessible areas, with free entry and participation; a fact which brings people together, the young and the old, regardless of financial means or social stratum.

The festivities officially begin on Shrove Thursday (19th of February) when the Queen of the Carnival, “The Deep Blue of the Mediterranean” will enter the town and culminate with the Grand Parade on Sunday, 26th of February.
