As from December 4, Valletta Waterfront takes on a Christmas village feel with a mix of decor, music, food and activities relating to this magical time.

A Christmas tree with a height of over 10 metres will be set up in the central part of the promenade. There will be a variety of free activities underneath the tree and along the whole promenade, including Christmas bands, children’s choirs, cribs, stalls and more. Father Christmas will be found in his workshop and together with his helpers will be available for photo opportunities.

As happens throughout the rest of the year, on weekends and public holidays there will be free children’s entertainment including bouncy castles and roaming children’s animation.

Along the Valletta Waterfront promenade, 13 outlets provide a variety of dining experiences for any type of event or party. From a quick after-office drink to an elaborate meal, Valletta Waterfront has that perfect venue, with a wide variety of menu options that can be customised to your taste and budget. Private areas and halls are also available for hire.

Browse the shops for interesting gifts, from jewellery to that book you’ve been meaning to read but haven’t got round to buying, handmade ceramics, local glass and more.

This is the perfect opportunity to enjoy the balmy Maltese winter weather with inside seating and heated outside areas for colder days, while joining in the Christmas cheer and celebrations.
