As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to ravage everything from our personal lives to everything we hold dear, Summer Carnival 2021 took a hit as Festivals Malta announced its cancellation. According to Festivals Malta CEO Annabelle Stivala, the event was cancelled in order to adhere to the guidelines issued by the health authorities which pertain to mass events.
The decision was taken in order to not only safeguard the health of staff, carnival participants and technical crew but also that of the events’ patrons. Stivala thanked all the artists and those involved for all their work and cooperation.
Despite this disappointing news, Festivals Malta is still working on other exciting events such as Muzika Muzika Sajf and Muzika Muzika il-Vjagg Ikompli the TV show. The entertainments industry continues to reel from the impact of the pandemic, having to adapt to unfortunate circumstances.
