festival fever

Malta is famous for a number of things. The fantastic weather, the clear, blue sea, temples, architecture, history, culture, food and Summer nightlife. This is the time when locals gather together under the stars and make merry, and its a perfect opportunity for visitors to the island to fully immerse themselves in Maltese culture.

July is packed full of different events catering to every age, taste and budget, ensuring that no one is left out of the fun. Starting July 1st, the Malta Council for Culture and the Arts is organising the Malta Arts Festival which will run for two weeks and feature a variety of shows ranging from ballet to flamenco, acoustic rock to string orchestras, architecture to photography exhibitions and local and international theatre productions. All these are being held outdoors against the magical backdrop of Malta's capital city, making each event an enriching cultural experience.

great start to Summer

University is finally over. Tests have been written, assignments have been handed in and the sunny season is in full swing! June 21st is the first day of summer, as well as the longest, and a party to welcome in the summer is the best way to get in the mood for the months ahead. This year we were treated to something totally new and original with a Mexican themed party held at Razzett L-Abjad. Maltese people and international students mingled in this outdoor venue, lounging on hammocks and floor cushions and chilling to Latino reggae sounds. Mexican BBQ grills were served the night through and washed down with cocktails and Corona. The night got pumping when DJ Duncan F took to the decks with a groovy Latino set, accompanied by Ant1 on percussion. The crowd danced till the early hours of the morning turning the longest day of the year into an equally long night. Fiesta la Bamba brought a little bit of Mexico to Malta and everybody loved it. Next year its Brazil. Don't miss it.
