Carnival week is one of the most colourful events in Gozo. It provides five days of revelry with young and old dressing up in colourful costumes and beautiful or grotesque masks.

The main activities take place in the town of Victoria (ir-Rabat) and in Nadur. Celebrations in Rabat include parades with floats, costumes and rhythmic dance. Carnival in Nadur is deeply traditional and essentially spontaneous. Here, the purpose of costumes is disguise – it is pure fun, a concoction of costumes that make people unrecognisable and most remain silent to aid their disguise, gaining the Nadur celebrations the sobriquet, the silent carnival.
