Despite the weather, especially the very strong wind which gripped our islands this morning, many activities for children including hands-on farming, childrens face painting (Bottom photo) and a variety of exhibitions were able to take place as planned.
The Qala Dramatic Society carried out a charming re-enactment of a traditional Maltese wedding along the streets of the Citadel and in the Cathedral square (Uppermost Photo). Various military re-enactments also took place around the ancient streets of Victoria (Photo above).
The chill-out areas in Victoria which will be taking place overnight tonight, are expected to attract a more youthful audience.
A Wings on Gozo air display, which should have taken place this morning, has been postponed until 11.00am tomorrow morning, weather permitting, with the ideal viewing point being the Citadel
