The Maltese carnival is one of Malta’s oldest festivities, harking back to the rule of the Knights of the Order of Saint John. Today, this colourful event is celebrated across the Maltese Islands, with the boldest and brightest activities centred in the capital city of Valletta. The city’s historic streets come to life with marching bands, fancy dress competitions and dancers in elaborate costumes. But the highlight of this age-old celebration is certainly the carnival float parade that features all manner of impressive handmade floats.
Activities take place in various locations accross Valletta, including Pjazza San Ġorġ, Pjazza San Ġwann, Pjazza Tritoni, Pjazza Kastilja, Triq ir-Repubblika, Triq il-Merkanti and other main areas. The Carnival grand finale takes place in Pjazza Teatru Rjal, Floriana.
