5 events you can’t miss in Malta this Summer

If soaking up the sun, taking a dip in the Mediterranean Sea, eating good food and revelling in a buzzing nightlife scene have all made it onto your bucket list for the summer, we’ve got the perfect holiday destination for you.

From beer festivals to live music concerts headlined by world class artists who need no introduction, there truly is something for everyone in Malta’s jam-packed summer calendar, and as hard as it was to choose our top picks from this year’s line-up, here are our top 5:



Music lovers, we’ve got three words for you: Malta. Music. Week. For an entire week, the island transforms into a paradise for music lovers, with parties and special nightclub events being organised every night… We can’t wait to see Ella Eyre rock the G7 Fridays stage at Gianpula Village on the 22nd of July and Joel Corry hitting the decks at the picturesque Café Del Mar beach club two days later! However, the highlight of the week is undoubtedly the highly anticipated Isle of MTV concert, which is back with a bang for its 14th edition in Malta with headliners DJ Marshmello and French Montana.

Lights, camera, STRUT! The biggest names in Maltese fashion will be coming together for three days of stunning showcases, culminating in the show-stopping Malta Fashion Awards on the final day against the stunning backdrop of Malta’s Grand Harbour in the capital city. If you’d like the opportunity to mingle with Malta’s top designers, models, influencers and stylists, this is definitely the place to be.
