A new initiative in the Christmas in Gozo programme for this year is the Christmas Parade, which will take place on Saturday the 19th of December.
This colourful parade will start from the lower part of Republic Street Victoria at 7.30pm, and will make its way up to Independence Square.
It promises to be a celebration of Christmas, from Snowmen to Christmas bells, from Scrooge to Father Christmas, as well as various cartoon characters.
There will be a spectacle of beautiful costumes and festive dancing to get spectators into the Christmas spirit. It will be a parade for the young, as well as the young at heart!
