What’s on this weekend
This weekend, get ready for Broadway musicals, tributes to Michael Jackson, choir performances, bazaars and exhibitions. Events are happening all around the island, and we have collected some of the weekend’s best options. Here’s what’s on this Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
Music and shows
Fans of musicals, this Paphos concert is for you. Midia Kalou and Marianna Georgiou present a voice and piano performance on Thursday titled A Night of Broadway at Technopolis 20. The evening features some of the most iconic and award-winning songs from the musicals of Broadway and the West End and is set to begin at 7pm.
In Larnaca, The Alley Garden will host a live music night this Friday. Tasos Fokou will create a soulful music experience at 8.30pm, accompanying the bar’s cocktails with some live tunes to welcome the weekend.
A special tribute show lands in Cyprus this weekend for two unique performances. Sergio Cortez brings his iconic Michael Jackson tribute show to Nicosia and Limassol, celebrating the king of pop. He will first entertain Nicosia audiences on Saturday night and then Limassol audiences on Sunday.
Back in the capital, jazz melodies will sound downtown as Sarah’s Jazz & Blues Club welcomes The Steppin’ Out Jazz Band. Local musicians will pay homage to the leading ladies of jazz from the 20th century, starting at 9.30pm.
Cultural events
As the International Nicosia Festival 2025 concludes, it offers one last night at the theatre. Throughout all of its productions in 2025, photographer Nikolas Louka captured the moments before the artists went on stage and after the shows concluded, documenting the process of performing and the effects of the performing art world. On Friday, the festival presents these moments in a photography exhibition at the Nicosia Municipal Theatre, followed by a party with DJ sets.
On Saturday, Mikri Arktos in downtown Nicosia will host the Amalgamation Choir’s Winter Gathering, including a mini concert, a documentary screening and a community bazaar with second-hand clothing, handmade gifts and books.
Art exhibitions
Art Seen Gallery continues to exhibit Amy Stephens’ Nature’s Stage exhibition, curated by Maria Stathi. Running until January 19, the showcase creates new meanings between the Cypriot landscape, sculptural materials and the human body.
On Friday, a new exhibition will open at Gloria Gallery. The Anamnesis exhibition by Stephanos Philippou and Anastasia Sivkova includes drawings, watercolours and canvases, through which the two artists explore memory as a living, fragile and constantly shifting experience. Its opening event will take place at 7.30pm and the exhibition will remain open until the end of the month.
