Thousands of visitors attended the 65th Wine Festival at the Limassol Public Gardens over the past nine days, which concluded on Sunday, 4 October 2026.
According to a statement from Limassol Municipality, at the official closing ceremony, Yiannis Armeftis speech, was delivered by the Chairman of the Municipality’s Cultural Committee, Michalis Michael, who emphasised that “this year’s event proved that tradition is not something static. It evolves, is enriched and is proudly passed on to younger generations, whilst offering a unique cultural experience to every guest.”
As noted, throughout the nine-day event (26 September-4 October), visitors had the opportunity to sample Cypriot wines and traditional flavours, and to enjoy a varied programme that included major music concerts, theatre performances, folklore events, as well as creative activities for children. This year, parallel events took place in the wine-producing villages and the Komandaria producing villages of Limassol, specifically in Arsos and Agios Mamas.
A special touch was added to this year’s event by the accompanying visual arts activities, such as the A Wine Cartoon Exhibition in the Public Garden, organised in collaboration with the Association of Cypriot Cartoonists ‘GEL.A.’ and the ‘Pin Cartoon and Sketch Workshop’, as well as the Photography Exhibition at the Municipal Hall, organised in collaboration with the Cyprus Photographic Society.
