The historic significance of Valletta Waterfront, dating back to 1752, adds depth to the vibrant atmosphere of Colour Fest. Amidst azure waters and golden bastions, Valletta Waterfront's Colour Fest celebrates the rich history and cultural heritage of Malta.

Gorgeous views of the Grand Harbour, a laid-back atmosphere, ample parking and countless activities, ideal for various ages and interests, make the Valletta Waterfront a great place to be this springtime.

So many fun-filled moments await at Colour Fest, including a mix of live music, children’s activities, and so much more. There are plenty of reasons to head on down to the Waterfront, have a tasty meal and give your kids a chance to meet some of their favourite characters including Sonic, Skye and Princess Ariel to mention a few.

But apart from all of that, the beautifully-restored vaults at Valletta Waterfront aren't just historic relics – they're bustling hubs of culinary delights, entertainment, and relaxation offering a diverse array of dining options catering to every craving.
