The Maltese Carnival takes place annually during the week preceding the beginning of Lent. Students from Malta Crown traditionally attend this vibrant national festival, which combines historical events with modern entertainment.
The origins of the Carnival celebration date back to the 15th century, when the Hospitaller Knights arrived on the island and began to form the first traditions of this colourful festival.
Did you know that masks were not just for entertainment? They served as an important element of disguise to protect military commanders from enemy spies.
This year, the climax of the Carnival fell on February 14, and the atmosphere in Valletta was doubly festive.
The students enjoyed attending various events. They watched carnival floats parades, dance performances, costume processions, theatre performances, and costume contests.
