As the carnival celebration ensued, the Gozitan entrepreneur Joseph Portelli came across a Nadur party-goer who decided to dress up as, well, Joseph Portelli himself.
Joseph stopped to take a snap with the person, who donned a construction vest as well as a helmet with the name of the construction tycoon.
And they were both absolutely loving this little moment!

Amongst the costumes and floats during this year’s Nadur carnival, one particular showcase stuck out, echoing an ongoing push by MaltaDaily.
A group of carnival goers built a parliament resembling structure, with a sign urging for the removal of the barriers from in front of parliament.
Blending the lines between satire, political commentary and pure carnival craziness, the structure had an uncanny and impressive resemblance to Malta’s parliament.
Some carnival goers also staged a Parliament reshuffle in the streets of Nadur, equipped with a podium, tables and a camera crew.
This comes as MaltaDaily campaigns to have the parliament barriers removed, with 684 signatures as of yet.

In the shared moments, Borg could be seen actively participating in the festivities, jamming with a tambourine to the joyous carnival tunes that filled the air. Borg’s involvement not only reflects his connection to Gozo’s rich cultural heritage but also serves as a reminder of the significance of public figures taking part in and endorsing local customs and festivities.
This weekend, Malta and Gozo celebrated what was one of the biggest carnivals in recent history, with thousands of revellers and partygoers taking to the streets of Nadur, Valletta and more to celebrate the time-honoured tradition.

According to weather reports, today, Sunday 11th February 2024, is set to bring isolated thundery showers, with temperatures feeling as cold as 17 degrees celsius.
As the carnival weekender continues, temperatures are set to drop to 12 degrees celsius as stormy weather heads to the Maltese islands. This weather is set to persist into tomorrow, Monday 12th February.
So far, this weekend has not brought any strong bouts of rain, letting carnival jubilations to carry on undisturbed.
However, this might not be the case for the final day of celebrations. This is set to follow a rather dry January – drier than the climactic norm with higher than average temperatures.
