FEBRUARY 9-14 Carnival in Malta and Gozo 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 activi- ties centred in the capital city of Valletta. For four days, the city's historic streets come to life with marching bands, fancy dress competitions and dancers in elaborate costume. But the highlight of this age-old celebra- tion is certainly the carnival f loat parade that features all manner of impressive handmade f loats – some allegorical, some satiri- cal and others just plain fun, fan- tastical and whacky.
