Product Description

Inspired by the popular and well-respected European street festivals, the First Pafos International Street Festival will be a week-long event of entertainment, family fun, and laughter for Cypriots and tourists alike.

From August 26th to September 1st, 2024, starting at 7:00 every evening, there will be a great variety of performances by different international artists at seven different locations at the promenade in Kato Pafos and in Ktima (Pafos town). Up to 24 performances every evening for seven consecutive days are planned, making it the biggest festival of its kind ever held in Cyprus! The performances will cover a variety of genres, such as acrobatics, circus skills, comedy, clowning, music, dance, and more.

This festival will be open for all (no tickets required). It will be a multi-day event where you decide what to pay each artist at the end of the show. Performing in public places for gratuities, the hat tradition (or busking), dates back to antiquity. The contribution by members of the audience was traditionally placed in a hat that was passed around. Nowadays, street performance is practiced all over the world and passersby, who enjoy the performance, similarly put money into a hat for the performers – this is the primary payment for the artists.

Join us at the first International Street Festival in Pafos!
