Unforgettable Cultural Experiences: Notte Bianca and Birgu by Candlelight
Autumn isn’t just about great weather; it’s also a time of vibrant cultural events in Malta. During the last week of September and the beginning of October, the island hosts two of its most enchanting events: Notte Bianca and Birgu by Candlelight.
- Notte Bianca: Held in Valletta, Malta’s capital, Notte Bianca is an all-night cultural celebration that takes over the city’s historic streets and piazzas. Museums, theaters, and historical buildings open their doors to the public, offering free entry and hosting a variety of performances and exhibitions. It’s a night where art, music, and history blend seamlessly, providing an immersive experience into Malta’s cultural tapestry.
- Birgu by Candlelight: Just a week after Notte Bianca, the medieval city of Birgu (Vittoriosa) transforms into a magical scene during Birgu by Candlelight. The city’s narrow streets and alleys are lit solely by thousands of candles, creating an amazing atmosphere that takes visitors back in time. This event offers a unique opportunity to experience Malta’s history and culture in a truly Mediterranean setting.
Both events provide the perfect backdrop for practicing English in real-life situations, engaging with locals and fellow travelers, and deepening one’s appreciation of Maltese culture.
