It should be completed by the end of 2020.
Plans for the Marsa Carnival Village have entered the second phase as the demolition of Government garages to make space for the attraction has been announced. The garages will be relocated to Kordin, as per an agreement between the Ministry for Culture and the Ministry for Capital Projects.
The garages, which currently employ about 80 persons in various trades, will relocate their activities to Kordin. Their demolition will provide the space needed for the new and much awaited village for Carnival enthusiasts.
The project will ensure that participants will have a state-of-the-art location where they and visitors may appreciate their creations not only during Carnival but throughout the year.
This village involves an investment of €5 million and will have 19 large warehouses and eight smaller ones, as well as an interactive museum relating to the history of Carnival in Malta, and an orientation and café area. The whole project is expected to be completed by the end of next year.
