The Second Limassol International Children’s Festival will be on 27-28th September 2008 at the Limassol Municipal Garden. It will start at 16.00 both days. Last year Limassol International Children’s Festival was recognized as one of the biggest events for children. During two days more than 5,000 people visited Limassol Municipal Garden where the Festival was organised. Children of 27 nationalities took part in the First Festival. 13 Embassies and Consulates organized photo and art exhibitions about their countries.
This year’s Festival has very rich program.
There are 12 concerts where schools, dance and music groups will perform. The youngest kids are from Zacharinia Politia kindergarden. They are 2-3 years old. But they can already dance and sing at the stage. Most part of actors, singers and dancers who will take part in the concert program are 6-12 years old. This is a very good age to find one’s priorities and talents.
Among Festival’s participants there are children-winners of different international competitions and contests. As wells as girls who will be representing Cyprus at JUNIOR EUROVISION. They will take part in the Closing Ceremony that will be on Sunday at 19.00.
Andreas Christou, Mayor of Limassol will open the ceremony and congratulate children, their teachers and parents. Foreign Embassies representatives and Municipal Council members will be honored guests of the Ceremony.
Embassies of foreign countries represented in Cyprus will prepare their own exhibitions.
Last year the workshops of the Festival were the most popular activities of the event. Many professional teachers work with kids free. They draw and paint (using not only paper but clay, stones, wood). Not only with brushes or pencils but even with fingers.
There will be a lot of fun. Trampolins and bouncing castles, bowling and fishing, gladiators and surfing… there are so many games. Apart of usual entertainment there are going to be competitions and active games organized by Festival staff. Magic Show, Parrot Show, Ronald McDonalds trics and many other surprises wait children during the Limassol International Children’s Festival.
