Il-Karnival ta’ Għawdex 2025

Ċelebrazzjoni tal-Komunità, Kulur u Kreattività

Nistedinkom tingħaqdu magħna biex għal sena oħra tesperjenzaw iċ-ċelebrazzjonijiet vibranti tal-Karnival ta’ Għawdex 2025. Din il-festa kulturali annwali hija waħda mill-aktar mistennija, fejn gżiritna tistagħna bil-kreattività u t-talent.

Il-Karnival f’Għawdex għandu għeruq fondi fil-wirt kulturali rikk tagħna, iżda matul is-snin kompla jevolvi f’ċelebrazzjoni dinamika tal-espressjoni artistika. Illum, huwa vetrina spettakolari ta’ talent lokali li jiġbed lejh eluf ta’ viżitaturi minn Malta kif ukoll turisti internazzjonali. Mill-parati filBelt Victoria għaċ-ċelebrazzjonijiet spontanji fin-Nadur u attivitajiet oħra fi rħula differenti, il-Karnival ta’ Għawdex joffri esperjenza unika għal kulħadd.

Il-Karnival jirrifletti l-għaqda u l-komunità li jiddefinixxu l-istil ta’ ħajja Għawdxi. Kemm jekk permezz tal-kostumi spettakolari, id-daqq ferrieħi tal-baned lokali, jew l-entużjażmu tattfal u ż-żgħażagħ, din iċ-ċelebrazzjoni titfa’ dawl fuq il-kultura u l-kreattività tagħna. Il-programm tal-Karnival ta’ din is-sena se joffri esperjenza mill-aqwa bil-għan ukoll li din il-festa vibranti tkompli tikber u tissaħħaħ. Id-Direttorat għall-Wirt Kulturali, fi ħdan ilMinisteru għal Għawdex u l-Ippjanar, jibqa’ impenjat biex jassigura li dawn it-tradizzjonijiet, li ilhom mijiet ta’ snin, jibqgħu kemm sostenibbli kif ukoll imfittxija.

F’isem il-Ministeru għal Għawdex u l-Ippjanar, għalhekk nistedinkom biex tingħaqdu magħna, tesperjenzaw u tgawdu flimkien magħna l-Karnival ta’ Għawdex 2025.

As Minister for Gozo and Planning, it is my great pleasure to invite you to experience the vibrant festivities of Carnival in Gozo 2025. This eagerly awaited annual cultural event sees our island come alive with a dazzling display of colour, creativity, and an infectious sense of joy.

Carnival in Gozo is deeply rooted in our rich cultural heritage, yet it continues to evolve as a dynamic celebration of artistic expression. Over the years, it has grown into a spectacular showcase of local talent, drawing visitors from far and wide who come to marvel at our unique traditions. From the grand parades in Victoria, organised events in other Gozitan villages, to the spirited celebrations in Nadur, with their satirical floats, imaginative costumes and mesmerising dance performances, every corner of the island radiates with excitement and delight.

At its heart, Carnival represents a sense of unity and community that defines the Gozitan way of life. Whether it is the meticulous craftsmanship of the floats, the vibrant sounds of local bands, or the enthusiasm of our youth performing traditional and contemporary dances, this celebration captures the essence of our culture and creativity.

This year’s Carnival programme promises to be nothing short of extraordinary, offering something for everyone. Families, children, and partygoers alike will find events to enjoy, from the irreverent and spontaneous Nadur Carnival to the more traditional celebrations across the island, especially the Regional Carnival in Victoria which is organised by the Cultural Heritage Directorate within the Ministry for Gozo and Planning.

On behalf of the Ministry for Gozo and Planning, I warmly invite you to immerse yourself in the magic of Carnival in Gozo 2025. Celebrate our cherished traditions, revel in the boundless creativity of our people and experience the renowned warmth and hospitality of our island.

Clint Camilleri Minister for Gozo and Planning
