The carnival parade in Limassol was spectacular, with over 30,000 carnival participants in 115 groups. The parade lasted over five hours and included imaginative costumes, floats inspired by various themes such as fairy tales, current events, and political satire. The Mayor of Limassol, Yiannis Armeftis, stated that this year's parade was unparalleled. The Queen of Passion and Madness, Amarillis Kyriakou, led the parade, while fireworks and a confetti battle created the atmosphere. The carnival will conclude with a dance at the Old Port and a mask competition, with a spectacular show of 700 drones closing the event.
