Zivania Festival 2026 Pelendri

November gives us a good reason to head up to Pelendri. The village in the Limassol district is getting ready to host the Zivania Festival on Saturday 7 and Sunday 8 November 2026, at the Pelendri Community Cultural Centre, putting centre stage one of the most characteristic products of Cypriot tradition.

Zivania has its own place in the stories and customs of our villages. It is connected with the toil of the people of the land, with the vineyard, and with that small glass that accompanies a welcome. For many, it brings to mind family tables, visits to the village and conversations that linger a little longer over company.

This connection with the place and its people also gives character to a festival dedicated to zivania. The festival in Pelendri offers the opportunity to turn our attention to a tradition that passes from generation to generation and still forms part of the identity of the Cypriot countryside.

The two-day event can also be an occasion for an autumn stroll through the village. Let us leave the rhythm of the city behind for a while, walk, and make time to meet friends and relatives. With zivania at its heart, Pelendri invites you to a weekend with a Cypriot character.
