Malta's Carnival – A Spectacular Parade of Figures
Every year, Malta hosts a vibrant and colorful Carnival, one of the island’s oldest traditions, with a history spanning over 500 years. In 2025, the Carnival will take place from February 28 to March 4. The main celebrations are centered in the capital, Valletta, but parades and festivities also take place in other towns and villages across the island.
One of the most spectacular highlights of the Carnival is the grand Parade of Figures, featuring massive, intricately designed floats adorned with papier-mâché figures. These towering sculptures often depict mythological creatures, fantasy characters, and satirical representations, making the parade a visual delight for spectators of all ages.
The festival includes daytime and nighttime parades, musical performances, and dance competitions. The streets of Valletta and other towns are decorated with colorful ornaments, creating a lively and festive atmosphere.
Malta’s Carnival is a unique opportunity to immerse yourself in the island’s rich cultural traditions and enjoy spectacular performances that showcase the spirit and history of Malta. It is a must-see event for both locals and visitors looking for an unforgettable experience!
