I welcome any events held in our locality because they boost business. I am a Restaurant owner myself and I respect the fact that these events generate good business as long as they are well organized. The previous week we had Santa Maria, so the weekend wasn't grand, and the following weekend we had this Carnival and the problem I had was guest calling me to cancel because they have been stuck at Salina Road for over 1 hour, gave up and turned back. Same thing happened on Burmarrad road and I don't blame them. But off course, this is my problem and of a couple more restaurants that happened to be out of the hot spots, in a locality that stretches from Wardija up to Xemxija. Why nobody cares about traffic diversions, parking etc...and the same comments I made on the open air World Cup venues why is nobody sensitive in general on all business ?? Bugibba needs urgently events in Winter when all our friends, restaurant owners struggle on a daily basis to remain open because it is completely deserted by 8:00pm.

I urge the Local Council to continue organizing main events in our locality.....all of it.

Why not wear carnival costumes every weekend in Bugibba?

That sounds like fun. In the UK I remember going to Carnival in August. The sun was shining and even if it rained loads of people turned out for the sheer enjoyment of it. I think it would be great to have a summer carnival instead of the February one as it would become a greater tourist attraction for all.

What a stupid idea. Being a seaside village/resort It would have made more sense had the Council organized activities related to the sea. What about a gostra (greesy pole) for example? On second thoughts the Council should make better use of its funds by attending to the many needs of the village. Come on Local Council, be serious.

Wow, glad I read this in time as we were planning to go down there on Saturday evening with some friends - we can now avoid the hassle.

Maybe I am pessimistic but I can't imagine many people willing to wear carnival costumes at 30 degrees celcius or higher!

If MPs will be attending they will have no need to wear a carnival costume.
