Activities, such as festivals, cultural activities and entertainment, will resume around Gozo starting from Wednesday, the 1st of July.

The announcement was made by Gozo Minister Clint Camilleri, who said that following the suspension of activities due to the Covid-19 pandemic, a full programme has been organised for this summer season from July to September.

He spoke about how important these activities are in attracting more Maltese and tourists to Gozo, pointing out that Gozo’s economy depends very much on tourism.

The Minister said that in addition to the public being able to enjoy healthy food, beautiful beaches and the unique environment of the island of Gozo, they will also be able to experience shows featuring local talent and much more.

Other activities will include band concerts close to the popular tourist areas, including Mgarr, Marsalforn and Xlendi, as well as in the squares of Xaghra, Xewkija and Qala, as well as in Victoria.

Themed festivals will be held in the villages where the public can enjoy music and other entertainment in a relaxed atmosphere. The Annual Exhibition of Agriculture and Crafts will also be held this year.

He added that the fourth Gozo Channel ferry, the MV Nikolaos, will be resuming operations over the coming days.

Minister for Gozo Clint Camilleri concluded by urging the public to choose Gozo for their holiday this summer.
