Ayia Napa Festival
The Ayia Napa Festival was first held in September of 1985. It has became an annual tradition ever since. Each year it occurs in Sepheris Square in the Ayia Napa Monastery. The festivities that are celebrated symbolize the cultural, historic, and agricultural traditions of Ayia Napa, as well as the island of Cyprus. The programme consists of various theatrical performances, concerts, operas, Cypriot folk dancing, and foreign folk dancing.
Other than the traditional performances, other events are also organized into the programme. The previous painting exhibitions, as well as the photographic exhibitions, have been a highlight for many guests. There has also been a record of flower exhibitions and butterfly exhibitions hosted by the Department of Agriculture.
