WHERE & WHEN
4-5-6-7 JULY 2024, Lefkara
This summer we return to Lefkara where our world unfolds on 4-5-6-7 July.
Over 4 magical days and nights we come together to nurture mind & body, think green, make art and build communities.
We let our minds be free to explore as we experience new ways of seeing, thinking, learning - through art, animation, installations and interactive workshops, and for the little ones, even a new school.
And of course we dance. Our stages come to life as we surround ourselves with the sound of AfroBanana. And we surrender our bodies to the beat. The voices. The music.
What is the sound of AfroBanana? Afro - funk - fusion - electro - world - jazz - latin - psych folk - techno - house - or simply dance - these are sounds that call on you to listen, to discover something new, to move.
Off stage we wander off to see Lefkara in a new light, we draw, we build new cities together, we sit under a spinning sphere to wonder at the magic of the solar power that lights it.
Is it magic? No, it’s people coming together to dance together, eat together, be together - to celebrate our common humanity and create something new, and that’s magical.
Perched high up on the hills of Lefkara a new world awaits. Come build it with us.
IN OUR WORLD
ON STAGE:
4 days of music across 3 stages featuring:
☉ Internationally acclaimed bands & DJs
☉ The best of the local music scene
☉ A closing celebration like no other, open to all, with a long table feast & the best sound system on the island, featuring selector DJs playing vinyl only…
OFF STAGE:
☉ Interactive installations & workshops for all ages
Run by artists, experts & socially-engaged organisations, this summer we want to envision a new world as we:
☉ Nurture Mind & Body
☉ Think Green
☉ Make Art
☉ Build Communities
☉ Forest School just for the little ones
☉ ANIMAFEST screenings in custom-built birdhouses
☉ Agora platform by Urban Gorillas

☉ Bespoke cocktails created for our festival bars
☉ A tiny bar designed just for the festival
☉ Our very own leafy campsite in the shade
☉ Our ever popular hammock tower
☉ AfroBanana merch market with festival memorabilia in limited editions
+ those touches that we can’t reveal... Because what’s life without a few surprises?
What is plain to see is that the hand of our team of curators & designers is across every structure, every workshop, every stage, every cocktail…
But the real magic happens when we add our community to the mix - 4-5-6-7 July, Lefkara.
GREAT FOR KIDS
TICKETS &
TENT PASSES
PRESALE NOW OPEN:
Tickets & tent passes are available to purchase online NOW at special presale prices.
We have ALL DAYS tickets (our best deal), or single day tickets ie THU/FRI/SAT tickets, for those of you who can’t make it. Sunday is free for everyone :)
You need a ticket to enter the festival (if you are over 12), and if you want to camp onsite, then you ALSO need one TENT PASS per tent (not per camper).
The price of the tent pass is the same, whether you camp for one, two, or three nights, so you only need one tent pass for your tent, no matter how long you choose to camp with us. However, you need to show you have the equivalent admission ticket for the festival, in order to be permitted into the camping site. So if you want to camp with us only on Friday night, you need a Friday ticket + a tent pass, if you want to camp with us throughout the festival, then you need an ALL DAYS ticket + a tent pass, and so on…
TICKETS & TENT PASSES TO THE FESTIVAL ARE LIMITED.
A tent pass gets you access to our onsite campground, where you can choose to set up camp in the small wood under the trees, or in the grass area under our own constructed canopy. You also get access to permanent built showers and toilets. Camping capacity is very very limited so the only way to make sure you can camp with us is to buy your tent pass online now.
There will be tickets & tent passes at the entrance of the festival grounds at doorsale prices, subject to availability.
So grab your tickets & tent passes now, at presale prices, to make sure you get into the festival.
