Valletta Pageant of the Seas, being presented today as part of a programme to mark the 450th anniversary of Valletta’s foundation, promises to be a unique show in the Grand Harbour.

It will feature numerous galleys, regatta boats, power boats, yachts and carnival floats, among others.

The pageant will kick off with the Għawma Toni Bajada, a major swimming activity involving hundreds of people crossing from Fort St Angelo in Vittoriosa to the Old Fisheries at Ta’ Liesse in Valletta.

A regatta show will then take place, to be followed by a boat race which will see people creating marine vessels from various materials, including recycled items, and racing them across the Grand Harbour without the use of motors or oars.

Carnival floats will also float on water.

UK-based outdoor events organisers Walk the Plank will be the highlight of the night with a stunt and pyrotechnics show.
