The Summer in Gozo 2026 programme, has been launched and includes an extensive cultural programme offering a varied calendar of activities around Gozo during the summer months from July to September.

Launched by Minister for Gozo Clint Camilleri, the programme continues to build on the success of previous years with the aim of showcasing the cultural life, beauty and distinctive character of Gozo, he said.

The Minister continued by saying that “although Gozo is known for its natural beauty, our island offers much more than sea and sun. Gozo is a place where culture is alive and we live it every day. We see this in our heritage, in artistic expression, in music, in traditions and above all in the strong sense of identity that distinguishes our communities.”

In summer, the cultural life in Gozo is experienced through the transformation of squares, streets and open spaces into activity centres hosting concerts, artistic performances, cultural activities and community celebrations.

The Minister emphasised that the programme not only enhances the experience of those visiting the island but also contributes to the social and cultural life of residents. He stated that “through initiatives such as these, we continue to position Gozo as a destination of quality, authenticity and attraction throughout the year.”

Among the main activities of the programme are the traditional Gozitan festivals, which remain a central element in the life of the communities, Hondoq by Night, Closer to the Voice Charles Buttigieg Live, the Gozo Food Festival, Xwejni Music Fest, Opera vs Pop under the Stars, Gozo Ceramic Festival, D Capitals Live at Cittadella, Rock Legends, Wirja ta’ Biedja u Snajja,’ Gozo Film Festival 2026, Levant Music Fest and the Gozo Puppets Festival.

Minister Clint Camilleri invited all residents and visitors to take part in the activities organised throughout the summer.

“Whether one is looking for music, tradition or artistic expression, summer in Gozo will offer something for everyone. I hope that this year’s programme continues to bring people together and create memorable moments for all those who choose to spend their summer in Gozo,” concluded the Minister.
