Impressive Parade and Closing Ceremony Promised by Limassol Municipality for Carnival

The Municipality of Limassol promises an impressive parade and closing ceremony for the Carnival on Sunday. Thousands of carnival participants and a large crowd are expected to attend, with the participation of 115 teams in the parade that will start at 1:00 PM on Archbishop Makarios III Avenue. The parade will include groups of cantadores, percussionists, majorettes, the Municipality Philharmonic, the Mayor and the municipal council, as well as the Queen of Passion and Madness. The Municipality has invested in satirical floats that criticize political and everyday issues. The carnival is expected to provide a significant economic boost to the city. On Sunday evening, a farewell party will be held in the old port square with a spectacular show of 700 drones, as well as music from top DJs and pelomaska and smart mask competitions. The Municipality calls on people to participate and enjoy the atmosphere, using confetti and streamers instead of foams and sprays.
