Carnival celebrations draw to a close this evening following four days of colour, costumes and music. 

Thousands made a beeline for Nadur to indulge in the irreverence that characterises the town's celebrations, while others headed for Valletta to admire the carnival floats and choreographed dancers that paraded through the city. 

A big defile on Floriana's main thoroughfare, accompanied by a fireworks display, will bring the curtain down on this year's celebrations. 

But Times of Malta readers have reported that while revellers celebrated, commuters trying to leave the capital city were frustrated by gridlock caused by the closing party.
