Dating back to the rule of the Order of the Knights of St John, the Maltese Carnival is one of the island’s oldest annual festivities. Every February or March the island celebrates a national public holiday where each village takes part in its own celebrations. Valletta is the home to the grandest of the island’s carnivals taking place over four days. The capital comes even more to life as streets are taken over with colourful parade floats, fancy dress, street performers, dancers and marching bands.
