A different yet impressive rendition of the Maltese carnival took place over weekend after being postponed back in February due to COVID-19 concerns.

Carnival is normally held in February around the world, with Maltese and Gozitan celebrations typically marked by a mass retreat to Gozo and a spectacle of multi-coloured floats and costumes in Valletta and other key points.

This year’s one-off summer activities were previously announced by Minister Owen Bonnici, with multiple dance competitions taking place in St. George’s Square in Valletta together with a défilé with King Carnival.

Nadur’s extravagant spontaneous carnival also returned with a bang this weekend, featuring a number of typically-satirical floats taking digs at public figures and current events. One in particular highlighted Żaren tal-Ajkla’s recent breast implant electoral proposal.

Did you attend any carnival festivities?
