The Ayia Napa International Festival returns for its 42nd year, confirming its timeless role as one of the most important cultural institutions in Cyprus and as an essential pillar of the Municipality's international identity.
From 25 to 27 September 2026, Ayia Napa becomes a meeting place for cultures, generations and artistic expressions. Through a multi-disciplinary programme, the institution connects local cultural heritage with contemporary creation, while strengthening extroversion, social participation and the qualitative upgrading of the experience of residents and visitors.
The event is part of the strategy of the Mayor of Ayia Napa, Mr. Christos Zannettos, to promote culture as a lever for sustainable development, international promotion and expansion of the tourist season. The aim is to establish Ayia Napa as a comprehensive Mediterranean destination, which offers authentic experiences and keeps alive its relationship with history, tradition and modern creativity.
