This weekend, the long-awaited Carnival celebrations were held in both Malta and Gozo. Plenty of people, especially youngsters, travelled to Nadur for the ultimate celebration, and seized the opportunity to dress up as their favourite characters or local happenings. With Carnival coming to a close, here are some of the best costumes that popped up this year.

1. Money Heist

This group is bringing out all the shade! Netflix's Money Heist and Pilatus Bank? Damn, kids.

Not quite the dynamic duo we were imagining but a cool costume nonetheless!

8. Brexit

We were waiting for something Brexit-related to pop up this Carnival. These guys even put their acting skills to the test and videoed a scene in the middle of Nadur!
