Christmas Markets?

I doubt if you'll ever find one here that goes halfway to the one I enjoyed at Gütersloh. (No snow for one thing.) Great memories.
Found this pic to get us in the spirit















PS. My daughter was born there.

the one in mellieha is quite small.. and in the parochial centre.

not to open a new topic

since this is my first december in Malta, what's it like during xmas and new year?

any specific places to visit around xmas? somewhere to feel xmas atmospfere, especialy for kids?

where to wait for new year? any concerts out in the open/somewhere to go with family (and that it isn't restaurant)


some general guide lines for this time of year

Christmas Artisan Craft Fair between 14th -15th December in Phoenicia Hotel in Floriana (next to the bus station).

It is a small market, but you can find some interesting local made products and food stuff. Most of the sellers also offer workshops where you can make your own.

St John's Co Cathedral for carols.

All churches have a calendar of events, ranging from the procession of Mary and Joseph, to streets with groups of children carol singing.

The annual pantomime held at the Manoel Theatre.
