Carnival

Music, Dance and Theatre , Festivals , Family Entertainment- 20/02/2009 to

Early springtime on the Islands brings along carnival week, which takes on a traditional pattern; extravagantly coloured floats are perched on lorries ready for the procession day, children running around in fancy dress costumes and Malta’s main nightlife centre, Paceville, catching the late night carnival goers who pile into the clubs and bars, still wearing their outrageous outfits.

The heart of the action takes place in Valletta, although various towns and villages across the Island have their own version of festivities.

In Gozo, the main activities take place in It-Tokk, the main square in Gozo's capital Victoria.  For a particular interpretation, visit Nadur, where carnival takes on a more sombre and mysterious mood.

Carnival week on the Islands is time to let your hair down and go with the flow – ideal for those who enjoy a good party.
