The Malta Arts Festival, the the first three weeks of July, is a showcase of top quality events and sees local and overseas' artists and performers side by side. The programme's diversity enabled the Arts Festival to be popular and accessible to all. The summer slot enables most events to be held open air. Falling as it does during the peak tourist season, the festival attracts a significant overseas audience as well.
The Festival is the highlight in our cultural calendar and as such, we see it as having a clear role to play in bringing about collaboration between Maltese and foreign artists. Joint performances and worskshops held on its fringes help enhance local artistic development and provides cultural innovation on the Islands.
For audiences, the summer Arts Festival is a bonanza of performance, music and dance, and offers something from almost all artistic forms.
