The Malta Tourism Authority will be holding activities for tourists and locals alike at Bugibba Promenade over three weekends starting today.
The Parliamentary Secretary for Tourism, Mario de Marco, said this would be a new activity aimed mostly at drawing tourists to Bugibba, and may be repeated in the winter and next summer if it succeeds.
Bugibba promenade will be a pedestrian zone during the evenings of the three weekends, but parking arrangements have been made near Fra Ben and at Sirens pitch (against a small charge for the latter). There will be a free bus shuttle service. Route buses will continue to transit Bugibba promenade but their speed will be restricted to 10km/h.
The MTA activities, from 8.30 p.m. to midnight, will include music, folk singing, bands, face painting and animators. There will also be performances by a bag-pipe band.
The activities are being held in conjunction with St Paul’s Bay Council.
