No, this has nothing to do with Michael Jackson’s iconic dance move. It’s an initiative by Paralimni Youth – entitled ‘Moonwalk’ – bringing live music to the shores of Protaras, previously held in 2018 when it was a huge success. Last year’s event had the seaside promenade of the town quickly filling with crowds heading from band to band, listening to different music sets. Moonwalk 2019 is scheduled to take place this weekend (a month later than last year’s date), and you don’t want to miss it.
So, what is it and how does it work? Starting from 8pm on September 14, numerous musical ensembles and duos will take a spot along Protaras’ coastal walking path performing simultaneously. From Polyxenia Isaak until just before the downtown hotels begin, different bands will be set up, inviting the public to sit and listen. At each set, you can stay as long (or as little) as you like, the band will continue playing regardless.
