This year is the 60th anniversary of Independence Day, and this special event is being celebrated in Gozo, with a concert in Victoria.

This Independence Day musical concert is being organised by the National and Regional Celebrations Committee within the Ministry for Gozo, with the participation of the Leone Band, in the presence of Minister for Gozo and Planning Clint Camilleri..

The concert will be held in Independence Square, Victoria, starting at 7.30pm, on Saturday, the 21st of September.

Malta gained its political Independence from Britain on the 21st of September 1964. On the night of the 20-21st September, the Maltese flag was raised at Independence Arena, Floriana, amidst the cheers of the large crowd present.

Malta had become an independent nation.

The British High Commission in Malta and the Maltese Government announced last month on social media that Their Royal Highnesses The Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh will visit Malta from the 7th to the 10th of October, to mark the 60th anniversary of Malta’s independence as part of the commemoration events.
