Some studies indicate an earlier date – 1470.

The main events takes place in Valletta and Floriana with grand defiles of floats in the streets. It is also a time were many people dress up in costumes and walk through the streets of Valletta. I would like to give you a glimpse of this year’s (2009) carnival in Valletta. To experience the full joy of Carnival, I recommend you plan and book your accommodation ahead.

Next year, Carnival in Malta runs between the 12th and 16th of February 2010.
