Biċ-ċelebrazzjonijiet ta’ San Valentinu, il-kalendarju kulturali u vibranti f’Għawdex jerġa’ jibda jieħu
l-ħajja. Dan l-avveniment sinifikanti f’pajjiżna stabbilixxa ruħu bħala wieħed mill-attrazzjonijiet
ewlenin li jwittu t-triq għal sena ta’ esperjenzi kulturali indimentikabbli fil-gżira Għawdxija.
Filwaqt li din is-sena qed inħarsu ’l quddiem lejn Għawdex bħala r-Reġjun tal-Kultura 2025, il-programm
kulturali li għandna preparat ikompli jibni fuq il-viżjoni tagħna li nesponu t-talent vast tal-artisti lokali
kif ukoll internazzjonali. Minn opri grandjużi għal kunċerti mill-aqwa, sa festivals tematiċi u wirjiet, se nkomplu niżguraw li dak li joffri Għawdex jilħaq u jaqbeż l-aspettattivi kemm tan-nies tal-lokal kif ukoll tal-barranin.
L-impenn tagħna biex nagħmlu lil Għawdex bħala l-aqwa destinazzjoni Mediterranja huwa evidenti mhux biss fil-kreattività tal-avvenimenti tagħna, iżda wkoll fid-dedikazzjoni tagħna biex inrawmu xena kulturali b’saħħitha. Dan l-investiment huwa kruċjali għall-aspirazzjonijiet tagħna li naraw lil Għawdex jiġi rikonoxxut bħala l-Kapitali Ewropea tal-Kultura għall-2031, mira li tirrifletti l-identità unika u l-wirt dinamiku ta’ gżiritna.
Il-programm ta’ San Valentinu f’Għawdex ta’ din is-sena ser jinkludi kemm tradizzjonijiet kif ukoll attrazzjonijiet ġodda maħsuba biex jissorprendu u jferrħu lil kull min iżurna. Bħal dejjem, San Valentinu f’Għawdex se jilħaq il-qofol tiegħu permezz ta’ kunċert spettakolari fil-qalba tal-Belt Victoria fi Pjazza Indipendenza.
Nistieden lil kulħadd sabiex jingħaqad magħna għal dawn iċ-ċelebrazzjonijiet ta’ mħabba u kreattività li jagħtu bidu għal sena oħra importanti għall-vjaġġ kulturali u artistiku ta’ Għawdex. Flimkien, ejjew niċċelebraw dak kollu li jagħmel lil gżiritna waħda speċjali.

The rich cultural fabric of Gozo takes centre stage once again as we kick off this year’s vibrant Gozo Cultural Calendar with the beloved Valentine’s in Gozo celebrations. This anchor event has established itself as a key attraction, setting the tone for another year of unforgettable experiences on our island.
As we look forward to Gozo proudly holding the title of Region of Culture 2025, this year’s cultural programme continues to build on our vision of showcasing the immense talent of local and international artists alike. From grand operas to mesmerising concerts, thematic festivals, and thought-provoking exhibitions, we continue to ensure that Gozo’s offerings meet and exceed the expectations of both locals and visitors alike.
Our commitment to positioning Gozo as a top Mediterranean destination is evident not only in the creativity of our events but also in our dedication to fostering a thriving cultural scene. This investment is central to our aspirations of seeing Gozo recognised as the European Capital of Culture for 2031, a goal that reflects our island’s unique identity and dynamic heritage.
This year’s Valentine’s in Gozo programme will include cherished traditions alongside exciting new attractions designed to surprise and delight. As always, the festival will culminate in a spectacular live concert in the heart of Victoria at Independence Square.
I warmly invite you to join us for these celebrations of love and creativity, as we embark on what promises to be another remarkable year for Gozo’s cultural and artistic journey. Together, let us celebrate all that makes our island truly special.
