This year’s Christmas in the Park at Salini National Park enchanted over 120,000 visitors with its perfect mix of holiday cheer and environmental education.
Organised by the Ministry for the Environment and Energy, the event offered festive entertainment while promoting sustainability.
The park’s illuminated pathway was the highlight, allowing visitors to learn about endangered species in an interactive and engaging way. The Enchanted Forest, transformed with dazzling light effects, provided a magical experience for families. Other attractions included sustainable crafts, a potting shed and greenhouse, an exciting maze, and educational games.
Running from December 8 to 22, this year’s edition introduced additional festive features, such as a nativity scene, Santa’s Grotto, and live performances by local artists, bands, and children’s choirs.
Visitors also explored sustainability through interactive activities hosted by entities like Saving Our Blue, Sustainable Development Directorate, Ambjent Malta, and the Environment and Resources Authority. Highlights included virtual reality experiences that showcased marine protected areas, such as Filfla and the remains of the Azure Window.
Minister Miriam Dalli emphasised the importance of public events like Christmas in the Park for fostering community engagement and sustainability awareness. She thanked exhibitors and visitors for making the event a success and encouraged families to enjoy Malta’s open green spaces.
