Notte Bianca, or White Night, brings the streets of Valletta – the whole fortified capital city to life with a long programme of cultural events.
According to the organisers, Notte Bianca, now in its 12th year, attracts over 60,000 people and lights up the night sky and the winding streets of the capital, literally and metaphorically.
Shops, restaurants and museums remain open well into the early hours, allowing visitors to take in the sights and sounds all through the night.
A range of specialist art exhibitions, musical performances and dance shows will be taking place in the streets and piazzas across the capital, from City Gate to Fort St Elmo.
Heritage Malta will again be playing a leading role, and the museums it runs in Valletta – the National Museum of Archaeology, the Palace Armoury and Palace State Rooms and Fort St Elmo, which houses the National War Museum – will be open late and free of charge.
It will mount a small exhibition at Auberge de Castille, the Prime Minister’s office, with a selection of Egyptian artefacts from the National Collection.
Special performance
A highlight of the evening will be a performance by one of the world’s most talked about theatre...
