First things first, it all kicks off on the 26th August and runs until 1st September. It is spread over 7 venues and takes place each evening from 7PM until 11PM, with two exceptions:
On the first day the events will be preceeded by a procession from Mpania to the Castle, featuring all the performers.
On the Saturday (31st) at the Mpania: 10:00-11:00pm there is an All Artists’ Charity Show followed by party until 2:00am with DJ Hadjimike
Location, Location, Location
Here is a map showing where the activities will occur. It is mostly down at the Sea Front with a couple of sites in Old Town. We will give you more information on the locations in a minute.
Opening Parade
There are a wide variety of performers to see in the festival. And they rotate locations, so you won't have to dash frantically about to see everything. For the full program of events, visit the official Paphos Street Festival website. It is very good and has a bio on each performer as well as show times etc. To whet your appetite, here is a list of the performers, as per the site:
Alvin Yong - Asian Kinetics
Corey Pickett - Circus Comedy
Crème & Brule - Fire Theatre
Domenyk La Terra - Master Juggling
Duo Santus - Circus
Isaac Aborah - Afro Balancing
Kwabana Lindsay - Rope Walking
Mariano Guz - Soap Bubbles
Paul Morocco & Ole - Musical Comedy
Richard Handley - Clownery
Schuberth & Kapeller - Fire Show
Sergio Barros - Comedy Magic
Super Mario Bros - Break Dancing
Tom Timon - Unusualist
Mpania
So let's show you all the locations. Mpania is the restaurant at the Municipal Baths. I imagine the stage will be the area in front of it next to the wave artwork.
The Wooden Pub
The Wooden Pub probably doesn't need to be introduced! It is on the Sea Front, next to the Fisher Boy Statue.

eBookCyprus Road Trip 01: the Kathikas - Panagia Loop
Let me take you on a journey around the region of Paphos, Cyprus. Starting at Paphos itself, we travel to Akoursos, then Kathikas, Kritou Terra and Simou. We continue past Lasa and Kannaviou, before taking in the delights of Panagia. Getting a bit more adventurous, we visit the abandoned villages of Statos and Agios Fotios, before passing through Choulou, Letymbou and Polemi, and rejoining the main Paphos - Polis road.
The route is suitable for all types of vehicle, and requires no off-roading. The guide contains about 130 photographs including shots of all the road signs you need to pay attention to, as well as some of the highlights you may experience along the way.
There are also several maps which will help you keep your bearings.
You can do this journey in a day, or you can break it up into chunks. You can also do it in reverse, to get some completely different views. It is entirely up to you.
