Fat Thursday? More like Plant-Based Plumpday

'Tiknopempti' goes green, where the only thing stuffed is your pita, not your arteries

Newsroom

Tsiknopempti is almost here, marking the last big feast before the start of Lent, the 40-day fasting period leading up to Easter. But this year, the Animal Party Cyprus and Farm House Aradippou are putting a fresh, meat-free spin on the tradition—one that skips the smoke but keeps all the fun and flavor!

On Thursday, February 20, 2025, at 12 noon, the grills at Farm House Aradippou will be sizzling with plant-based delights. Think sheftalia, souvlaki, and gyros—without the meat—alongside a colorful spread of mushrooms, peppers, onions, tomatoes, cauliflower, and more. It’s the classic souvla experience, reimagined for those who want to indulge without the guilt.

As Tsiknopempti is all about feasting before the fasting period begins, what better way to embrace the spirit of the season than by trying something new? Whether you’re vegan, vegetarian, or just curious about a different way to celebrate, this event promises great food, great company, and a fresh take on one of Cyprus’ most beloved traditions.

So grab your friends, bring your appetite, and enjoy a Tsiknopempti that’s full of flavor—without the smoke!

When: Thursday, February 20, 12:00 PM
Where: Farm House Aradippou

Organized by Animal Party Cyprus
