Local festivals celebrate fruits, trees and nuts of the season

Festival season remains strong this summer. In between the big concerts featuring local artists and musicians from abroad are local festivals that celebrate the produce and traditions of Cyprus. Coming up in the next few days and weeks are three festivals that honour the fruits, trees and nuts of the season in true Cyprus fashion – with music, food and village fun.

On Friday, the Watermelon Dance (O Horos tou Karpouziou) will return to Akaki village to praise the most celebrated summer fruit.
