Renaissance Fair 2024 | Pyrga, 19th of October 2024
Renaissance Fair 2024
Join us, on Saturday, October 19, in Larnaca district’s Pyrga village for a journey back in time, with music, dance, historical re-enactments, games, activities and workshops for the whole family!
This year, the Renaissance Fair colorfully proclaims and celebrates the love of the Cypriot farmer for his land, turning its focus towards the sowing season, the re-birth of the land and the accompanying societal ‘cultivation and coexistence’.
Be sure not to miss the Spectacular Parade led by the Italian flag bearers Sbandieratori Delle Sette Contrade Di Orte that officially kicks off the Fair with the arrival of the Artists and guests!
Visitors will be welcome to partake in traditional games, try their luck at medieval archery, enjoy horse rides through the village and visit the outdoor market stalls that are full to the brim with local product,
handicrafts and, of course, exquisite Cypriot food for all tastes.
