As we transition out of summer – though in Cyprus, the warmth lingers much longer – a favorite type of event for the autumn and spring seasons is making its return. Markets and pop-up bazaars are set to kick off, with three exciting events scheduled for September.
Cyberness Market: A Futuristic Experience
First up is the Cyberness Market, happening this Sunday at Kolla in Limassol. From 5 pm to 11 pm, Kolla’s expansive venue will be transformed into a futuristic art space featuring a mix of music, DJs, visual projections, and installations. Local shops, creative artists, and various brands will be showcasing their unique offerings. Visitors can enjoy live performances by a lineup of artists throughout the event, making it a must-see experience. The best part? The Cyberness Market is planned to return every first Sunday of the month, providing a recurring dose of creativity.
7th Handmade in Cyprus Market: A Celebration of Local Artistry
Following closely on the calendar is the 7th Handmade in Cyprus Market, scheduled for September 20, 21, and 22. Held at the Strovolos Cultural Center in Nicosia, this event will bring together over 30 local artists each day, showcasing a diverse range of handmade crafts and creations. It’s a fantastic opportunity for the island’s creative community to come together, celebrate, and share their work. In addition to the artisan booths, there will be food and dessert stalls, a cocktail bar, and organized arts and crafts activities for both children and adults, ensuring fun for the entire family over the course of this three-day market.
SecondLife Wardrobe Gala & Pop-Up Bazaar: Vintage Meets Modern
Rounding out the month, the SecondLife Wardrobe Gala & Pop-Up Bazaar will take place over four days in Nicosia’s historic old town. From September 28 to October 1, Yfantourgeio-The Workplace will host an array of second-hand boutiques, online shops, fashion enthusiasts, artists, and crafters. The event will feature vintage clothing, antique items, and accessories, all set to the backdrop of funky music spun by DJs. Food stalls will keep visitors energized, and for those looking for something more permanent, tattoo artists will be on hand for anyone daring enough to get inked or to make a future appointment.
With so much art and creativity to explore, these markets highlight the vibrant cultural scene of Cyprus. As autumn settles in, we can expect even more bazaars to pop up around the island. Let the market season begin!
