Christmas is a magical season and Larnaca city transforms into a wonderful city with warm and cosy atmosphere during that season. Thousands of lights decorate the city’s streets. In Finikoudes and Ermou street you can see the spectacular Christmas lights display.
Every year many of our followers take photos of the decorations and tag us. We try to share all of them. One thing is for sure, stay tuned as we will be posting the top Christmas photos.
This year in Larnaka we are hosting a Christmas village that will enhance the Christmas spirit, with a big wheel being in the centre of attention which officially gets everyone into the Christmas mood. Christmas land will be open from November 25 until January 8 in Europe square.
To start the Christmas festivities the lighting ceremony will take place to light up the huge Christmas tree at Europe square. The ceremony will begin at 5:30, on Sunday, November 27th. Plenty of performances will follow the light up ceremony to entertain the audience. Firstly, Tsveta Christoforou and the saxophonist Svetlomir Dimitrov will perform and then a show by the municipal children’s band and Etoile dance studio will be next. Municipal children’s choir and municipal vocal ensemble will also perform. Lastly, the esteemed singer Alexia will make a special performance titled The Spirit of Christmas. Normally it gets very crowded so make sure you will be there on time so as not to miss the light up of the tree.
