Malta's Grand Harbour has always been an important centre of trade and commerce, and the iconic Valletta Waterfront has been a witness to its rich history. It was on August 10th, 1752, during the late Baroque period, that Grand Master Pinto inaugurated the new stores built along the waterfront.

Today, the elegant Valletta Waterfront stands as a proud symbol of Malta's cultural heritage and a renowned destination for tourists and locals alike.

The honey-hued limestone edifices and coloured doors of the Valletta Waterfront provide a stunning backdrop for a unique celebration of architecture, history and culture with plenty of Mediterranean ‘joie de vivre’. The Pinto Stores, restored to their former glory, are the inspiration for the ongoing Colour Fest, which takes place annually throughout the months of April and May.

Fun-filled weekends along the Valletta Waterfront promenade with spectacular Grand Harbour views including street art, live music, pop-up cabaret and magic shows, children's characters, and more. šŸŽØšŸŽ¶šŸŖ„šŸƒ šŸ–±ļøvallettawaterfront.com/colourfest. #vallettawaterfront #valletta #malta #colourfest #lovemalta #lovinmalta #waterfrontdining #maltarestaurants #maltaeats #restaurantsmalta #livemusic #streetlife #eventsmalta #may #spring
