If you’re planning to hop between Malta and Gozo before April ends, make sure to double-check your travel times. The Gozo Highspeed service, which connects Valletta to Mġarr Harbour in Gozo, has announced schedule changes on select days due to the Malta International Fireworks Festival.

On the following dates, Valletta Port will close after 1:45 PM due to the fireworks preparations and celebrations:

• Tuesday 22nd April
• Friday 25th April
• Wednesday 30th April

For the Gozo Highspeed, the last departure from Valletta on these days will be at 1:45 PM, while the last departure from Mġarr in Gozo will depart at 12:45 PM.

This temporary change allows for safety precautions to be taken ahead of the vibrant fireworks displays that will be lighting up the Grand Harbour during the festival.
