The story

Rialto World Music Festival in Limassol

The Cyprus Rialto World Music Festival runs free, open-air evening performances each July at the SEK parking area behind Limassol's Rialto Theatre, with programming oriented toward Mediterranean and Middle Eastern music through its Forum of World Wide Music Festivals affiliation. Recent lineups have spanned Greek rock, Mediterranean folk fusion and big-band jazz across a multi-week run.

Free admission and a genuinely global booking policy, with recent lineups spanning Mediterranean and Middle Eastern acts alongside Greek rock and international collaborations, give the Cyprus Rialto World Music Festival a reach unusual for a festival that runs entirely without ticket prices, staged each July in the open-air SEK parking area directly behind Limassol's historic Rialto Theatre.
