The carnival period lasts for a full 10 days from February 16th to February 26th and the town enjoys its busiest time of the year during carnival.
The Limassol Carnival has its origins in historic pagan celebrations and the format of the festivities is loads of street processions, live music, theater and the famous King's Carnival parade. This hugely popular procession features huge papier-mâché statues of historic figures while local children get to dress up in fancy dress costumes too.
During the initial five days of Carnival there is a festival named "Kreatini," which sees the locals prepare for lent by eating as much meat as they can. Tourists in particular enjoy this part of carnival as they get to try out a lot of local delicacies.
