About the festival
There are summer nights that smell of Cyprus. Nights filled with music, dance, friends gathered around a table, and moments reminiscent of our island's most beautiful festivals. The Ormideia Cultural Music and Dance Festival promises just such an experience again this year.
The beloved festival returns for its 21st year, inviting friends of tradition once again to Ormideia Community Park. Young and old will have the opportunity to enjoy a rich program filled with music, dance, and authentic Cypriot hospitality.
Dance groups from the Larnaca and Famagusta districts will take the stage, presenting dances and customs that keep our folk tradition alive. Colorful costumes, traditional melodies, and scenes from Cyprus's cultural heritage will create a unique atmosphere.
The evening will culminate with NOMADES, one of the most beloved musical groups on the Cypriot traditional scene. With songs everyone knows and loves, they are expected to transform the festival into a grand celebration that will last late into the night.
And because no celebration is complete without good food, street food and drink stalls will be available on-site, offering options for the whole family.
The festivities continue the next day with a special evening dedicated to the community's youth, proving that the festival is not just an event, but a celebration that unites generations and people through tradition and entertainment.
If you love summer festivals, traditional music, and beautiful nights under the stars, Ormideia awaits you for a two-day event full of cheer and authentic Cypriot moments.
