Thousands of people of all ages participated in the first round of carnival celebrations across the country on Sunday. The carnival celebrations last for two weeks, with the first Sunday dedicated to the children’s parade. Limassol is the traditional center of these celebrations, but other cities have also started hosting their own parades in recent years. In Limassol, 63 floats took part in the parade, which started at 11:30 am from the municipal garden and moved towards the old port. The parade was led by the queen, referred to as ‘the jewel of the Mediterranean’. People across the country attended various carnival events, showcasing a variety of creative costumes.
