Overview
Malta, with its strategic position at the center of the Mediterranean Sea, has always been a crossroad for exchanges of cultural diversity, also due to so many Nations who have ruled over this country throughout its history. This is why the island's folklore tradition is very old, strong, and widespread. The aim of this International Festival is to make sure that the different folk traditions from all over the World meet up in Malta, for reciprocal cultural exchange and enrichment.
Malta is also definitely one of the most important countries in Europe’s tourism sector. Rich in history and charm, with a great sense of hospitality towards visitors and above all with a warm temperate climate. During the free time, participating groups will have the chance to relax and explore the various unique cities and villages of this magical island full of history. Hence we would like to invite you to discover this reality, perhaps at the most beautiful time of the year.
