Cyprus Mail reports of a Christmas event with a 12-metre-tree being lit up, workshops, Santa Claus and singing held on December 7 at the Limassol Marina.
Tree lighting ceremony
On December 7, the Marina’s Square was the hub for the event at 4pm, welcoming anyone wishing to experience the wonderful magic of Christmas as the tree lights are switched on.
“Watch in awe as the Marina bursts into sparkling light against the spellbinding backdrop of the sea,” rave the organisers.
The tree-lighting ceremony launched this year’s Christmas by the Sea, a joyful family event filled to the brim with fun and exciting activities and shows.
Interactive workshop
An interactive arts and crafts workshop for children was organised by IPH House of Arts, accompanied by live music and performances by GEON and Katerina Kampanelli whose festive tunes got children and adults into the spirit of Christmas.
The Limassol Theatre Arts School (LTAS) joined the event with merry elves singing a medley of Christmas songs, followed by the ever-jolly Santa Claus who made an appearance to see in the festive season and delivered his love and gifts to the children until 8pm.
This year’s official start of the Christmas season was marked by the mayor of Limassol, Mr Nicos Nicolaides, who switched on Limassol Marina’s spectacular festive lights.
Christmas themed activities
The Funraising Charity Foundation also hosted the 10th Santa Workshop, a charity event, at Limassol Marina’s Trakasol Cultural Centre.
Visitors supported this philanthropic initiative by participating in a variety of Christmas-themed arts and crafts, theatre and music workshops as well as indulging in an assortment of delicious Christmas sweets and desserts, which was available for purchase.
