The main beer festivals in Cyprus

Cyprus’s beer-festival calendar is concentrated on the coast in early-to-mid summer. The list below covers the recurring events we track — dates shift slightly each year, so confirm the exact programme on each event page or the official organiser link before you travel.

  • MEDFEST — Limassol Beer Festival (Limassol, late June): the island’s headline multi-day beer festival, with dozens of beer stands, street food and nightly live concerts. See our dedicated MEDFEST guide for the lineup.
  • Pafos Beer Festival (Paphos, summer): a multi-day beer festival on the west coast combining local and imported beers with food stalls and live entertainment.
  • Cyprus Craft Beer Festival (Larnaca): a craft-focused event showcasing independent and microbrewery beers.

Good to know before you go

  • Most beer festivals are 18+ for alcohol; minors are usually only admitted with a guardian.
  • Outside drinks are generally not allowed for licensing and safety reasons.
  • Use taxis, ride-hailing or public transport — parking near festival sites fills up fast.
  • Programmes and concert lineups are announced in phases; check the official page close to the date.
