Enjoy a Malta Holiday like no other on the Outrageous Carnival Island

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) February 15, 2012 -- Malta & Gozo Carnival 2012 – The Malta & Gozo Carnival is the perfect time to take your Malta Holiday. 5 Days of colour, dancing, festivities and outrageous fun bring the island together in celebration.

In late February Malta and Gozo Carnival is a five day celebration during which Malta turns into a colourful island of fun and folly. Il-Karnival ta’ Malta (or Malta Carnival in English) is an essential part of any Malta Holiday. Up until 1751, carnival was an activity exclusive to Valletta, but nowadays revellers gather in every corner of the islands from Nadur in Gozo to Ghaxiaq in the south of Malta.

The Malta & Gozo Carnival has evolved since its inception and is now an explosion of colour in the form of decorated floats and costumes. At this time of year, the celebration completely takes over and locals and tourists alike are keen to dress up in weird and wonderful costumes to join in the fun. Several events take place including lavish balls and dress and mask competitions, but the main attraction is the colourful parade presided over by the Carnival King atop his spectacular float. Marching bands and costumed revellers make the streets of Valletta and Floriana come alive!

Thousands of carnival-goers flock to the village of Nadur on Gozo each year to join in the celebrations. The Nadur Carnival is renowned for its darker (sometimes macabre) and more risque themes. People dress up as anything, from ghosts and goblins to religious figures and politicians. The outrageous and sometimes grotesque celebrations that take place here are geared more towards an adult audience, and present an opportunity for people to let their hair down and embrace what Carnival is all about – having a good time. Gozo carnival is so popular with both tourists and locals, that most of the hotels and farmhouses are fully booked during this period, so if you’re interested make sure to book your place at Malta Carnival 2012.
