The Summer Carnival in Malta gets underway today and Minister for Culture, Lands and Local Government Owen Bonnici visited some of the volunteers who will be taking part in this popular event for Maltese, Gozitans and tourists.

This year there will be a record number of floats participating, including three floats from Gozo.

Organised by Festivals Malta, the Carnival will be held between today, Friday, the 22nd and Sunday, the 24th of August in Bugibba and Marsaskala with a number of activities for the whole family.

In Bugibba, the Summer Carnival will be held on the 22nd and 23rd of August and there will be two different routes.

On Friday it will pass from the Islands Circuit to the Malta National Aquarium. On Saturday it will start from Triq it-Trunciera (opposite the Malta National Aquarium) to the centre of Bugibba and continue along the promenade, then turn to Triq il-Halel.

Then on Sunday, the Summer Carnival will be held in Marsaskala and will pass through Triq ix-Xatt to near the Marsaskala Parish.
