europe Malta Don't skip one of the most exciting seasonal events in
the country—the Malta Carnival! It's a real delight adding a splash
of colour to winter! The Carnival is celebrated right before the start
of Lent, at the end of February and lasts for 5 days. The festival
takes place across the islands, with the main celebrations in the
capital, Valletta, where thousands gather to watch parades of
colourful floats, music bands, and party-goers in bright costumes and
grotesque masks. Peter Grima The Carnival in Malta is an old tradition
dating back more than six centuries. The Knights of the Order of St.
John were the pioneers of the celebration and introduced strength
competitions and carnival balls to Maltese traditions, which have
survived till modern times. The Carnival in Malta withstood the test
of time and today enjoys massive popularity with locals and an
increasing reputation with foreigners. Anyone is allowed to wear
costume, cover his face with a mask, and fool around the streets
during the Carnival. The Malta Carnival is simple merriment,
spontaneity, and downright silliness. Michael Besides the Maltese
capital, the Carnival's main parades are held in some other towns such
as Floriana (island of Malta) and Nadur (island of Gozo). The Carnival
begins in the morning in the streets and continues late into the night
at the bars and clubs. During Carnival, you can find a special cake
named 'Prinjolata' which is usually very big, but you can also buy
mini-sized “prinjolata” as a souvenir. Переглянути
