Cultural festivals in Nicosia

Overview

Cultural events in Nicosia have focused on youth engagement and international folk traditions. The 17th Nicosia Youth Days, supported by European Union funding, opened with music and folk-dance performances on İplik Pazarı Street. This series of events, organized by the EU Information Centre and HASDER, includes workshops on media literacy and critical thinking, as well as round-table dialogues intended to encourage civic participation among young people.

Following these activities, the 16th International Nicosia Folk Dance Festival is scheduled to commence on August 27. Hosted by the Nicosia Turkish Municipality, the festival features international participation from groups in Turkey, Italy, Iran, and Brazil. The program includes a ‘Cyprus Night’, parades, and various competitions, with organizers noting that the timing coincides with World Peace Day to promote international friendship through cultural exchange.
