CARNIVAL IN NADUR
– GOZO.
Malta’s carnivals are loud and colourful with an
emphasis on fun.
The official carnival in
Valletta is organized for families with small children. There you’ll see small
children wearing their favorite characters costumes. Most of the time young
girls wear a princess costume and boys wear a superhero costumes such as
spider-man and super-man.
But if someone is looking for
something a little more adult,then you need to visit the small island of Gozo.
It’s here that you’ll find the best of the
carnival. The Nadur carnival allows you to let your hair down and dress
as what you want. Everyone is masked, or heavily made up, making it utterly
anonymous.
Nadur Carnival takes place every year. It is a
five-night event that finishes on Shrove Tuesday – or Mardi Gras as the French
like to call it.
Nadur’s carnival remains the
most unusual of all the Maltese events. Hundreds of Maltese and Gozitan couples
and tourists merge together to roam the streets, dance to band music, make
merry, eat and drink.
