Many might still consider the event totally unseasonal, but St Paul's Bay is in full swing this weekend to celebrate the summer carnival.

The event, organised by the St Paul's Bay local council in collaboration with the Arts Council Malta, kicked off yesterday and will continue this evening.

The event kicked off beneath the main square of Buġibba with the traditional Ġostra during which the competitors climb a greased pole over the sea in an attempt to grab the flag stuck to the end of it. 

This evening's defile starts from the parking area located at Triq il-Port Ruman, passing from Tourist Street and along the promenade. The parade includes 11floats, created specifically for this event.

The Malta Summer Carnival aims to give tourists a taste of the carnival tradition, while promoting Maltese culture and history, St Paul's Bay mayor Graziella Galea said.
