So much is happening these days, it is at times challenging to keep up. If it is some weekend entertainment and fun you are after, fear not. Plenty is happening all around the island.
In Nicosia, the Fengaros High 2023 event will take place on Saturday, presenting a new generation of musicians, composers and songwriters from Cyprus. Following an open call and a series of auditions six acts were chosen to present their original music on the Fengaros High stage: Alexa Michael, Anastasia Williams, Christos Metaxas, Mikrodyssea, Nilium and Puzzled. The music will begin at 6.30pm at the Dali Amphitheatre as the event follows in the footsteps of the Fengaros Festival style.
Something different will happen in old Nicosia through the morning of Saturday as the Severis CVAR Foundation and the Cyprus Peace and Dialogue Center organise a bi-communal treasure hunt in the northern and southern parts of the city. Old and young can gather at the end of Ledra Street at 10am to compete in a treasure hunt that will take them across the old historical centre. The winners will win a ticket to Chania, Crete, lunch at Hamur Restaurant or Haci-nin Yeri restaurant. To register online visit www.cvar.severis.org/…/bi-communal-treasure-hunt/
In Paphos, the latest edition of the Paphos International Film Festival will be held in the garden of Technopolis 20 this weekend.
