Music festivals
LMF (Loud Music Festival) was the standout summer music event: four days at The Warehouse in Limassol with a Main Stage and Garden Stage covering EDM, house and techno. Tickets were sold by tier on Ticketbox.
The Cyprus Rialto World Music Festival brought international acts to Limassol across two weeks in July. Minthis Music Festival in Paphos focused on classical and jazz in a winery setting.
Beer and drinks festivals
MEDFEST Limassol (June) and Pafos Beer Festival (August) were the two main beer events on the island. MEDFEST was larger — five evening sessions at Linopetra High School Stadium with more than 35 beer stalls. Paphos was the more scenic, with the harbour setting. Both had live music.
The Lemesos Wine Festival (late September, Limassol Municipal Gardens) is a long-running wine and culture event with cheaper entry and a more relaxed pace.
Pop-culture and niche events
Geekmania Pop Culture Expo (June, Nicosia) is Cyprus's largest pop-culture convention — cosplay, gaming, collectibles and panels. Timmy Trumpet's live electronic music show in Limassol (June) brings an international headliner to a club venue.
The Medieval Agia Napa Festival (October) is a heritage event with re-enactments and folk crafts — excellent for families visiting the east coast.
