Join us on Gladstonos Street with your children, bikes and scooters. Limassol is moving Lao Lao!

For one day, Gladstonos Street welcomes people with games, workshops, bicycles, music and meeting spaces. You can come for a morning stroll, take part in an afternoon workshop or stay for the presentations and award ceremony.

Children will have the opportunity to create, draw and learn basic road safety rules. Teenagers and adults can take part in discussions, artistic activities, guided tours and cycling. At the same time, older generations will share traditional arts and skills.

Local businesses are taking part with their own activities, offering an opportunity to stop for coffee, ice cream and meet up in the neighbourhood.

Activities will alternate throughout the day. See the times below and choose those that interest you.
