Carnival in Malta



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.
