Spring’s most anticipated and fragrant celebration is coming up in Paphos this Sunday as Paphos municipality hosts the Anthestiria Flower Festival2026 event. An afternoon of colour, nature, music and joy awaits as the city comes alive.

A grand parade is set to begin at 4.30pm on Griva Digeni Avenue with impressive spring-themed floats, performing groups and participants. Floral creations, artistic performances and music will fill the streets.

The celebrations will culminate at 28th October Square (Town Hall) at 6pm, where a programme of events and live entertainment will follow. Activities, live acts, events for children and more will unfold until 8pm, engaging visitors with this nature-inspired festivity.
