Severe weather forces cancellation of Carnavali and Clean Monday festivities

Local authorities have cancelled several Carnavali and Clean Monday events near me due to severe weather warnings. Strong winds and poor conditions are expected on February 22 and 23, 2026. The decision affects multiple locations across the region.

The cancellations cover local events at key venues. These include the 5th Municipal School of Lakatamia, Grammatic Park in Lakatamia, Dasous Louvrak in Latsi - Geriou, and Paradisia in Nicosia - Idalion. Organisers confirmed the move on February 20, 2026, citing safety concerns.

No rescheduled dates or alternative activities have been announced. Local authorities have not provided further details on possible replacements. The cancellations apply to both Carnavali celebrations and Kleanthi traditions.

The events will no longer take place as planned on the original dates. Residents and visitors have been advised to stay updated through official announcements. Authorities will monitor conditions before making any further decisions.
