Next weekend Carnival fever will grip Gozo and visitors to the island for this very popular weekend will be welcomed with a riot of colour and plenty of excitement to keep all ages entertained, with Carnival activities taking place in villages across the island.
Carnival time in Gozo takes on a traditional pattern; extravagantly coloured floats are perched on lorries ready for the procession, children running around in fancy costumes, dancers, music and much much more…….
This year's Carnival in Nadur gets underway next Sunday, the 31st of January, with the organised events in St. Peter & St. Paul Square starting at 12.30pm.
There will be a variety of carnival dances, hilarious sketches, costumes, floats and the traditional kukkanja.
The very popular, Nadur Spontaneous Carnival, showing the message of carnival made through satire, will take place between Friday, the 5th of February and Tuesday, the 9th of February.
This will take place in December 13th Street, St. Peter & St. Paul Square and the surrounding streets, beginning after sunset each day and lasting till the early morning hours.
The carnival week is a time to let your hair down and go with the flow – perfect for those who enjoy a good party!
So take a break, visit Gozo and and experience some Gozo Carnival events that are planned for all the family to enjoy.
