You might think that culture in Malta means history. But that is only 7000
years of the story. The Maltese Islanders live passionately in the present.
So there’s a lot going on with something to suit everyone from clubbers
to classical music enthusiasts.
Wherever you’re based in Malta, cultural choice is close by. Join in
the revelry of a village festa one night and mellow out to sultry, summer jazz
the next.
Book a play or concert at The Manoel in Valletta, a working theatre since the
time of the Knights, and enjoy a sense of history and the performing arts at
one go. Also in the capital is the Centre for Creativity, a modern concept in
an ancient fortress, St James Cavalier. Here, you’ll find exhibitions,
contemporary theatre, cinema, cafés and much more.
There are regular events such as the pageantry of the In Guardia historical
parades, and the Mdina and Valletta Festivals - three months of mainstream and
fringe arts with local and international performers.
Visit during special times like Holy Week, Carnival and Christmas and find
yourself very much part of the action.
