Experience The Christmas Express: Parades, Characters And Holiday Cheer
Step into a festive wonderland where history meets holiday cheer, the Valletta Waterfront, beautifully nestled along golden bastions in Malta’s Grand Harbour. Just within walking distance from Valletta and Floriana, Valletta Waterfront is the perfect spot to unwind and take in the Christmas spirit.
Stop at platform 1752 – Valletta Waterfront, and arrive into a world of Christmas magic featuring a towering 35-foot tree, larger-than-life characters including the 20-foot nutcracker soldier and a charming gingerbread man, amidst a program of interactive activities.
Featuring daily parades, a traditional Baby Jesus procession and more, in a packed calendar of activities, this renowned destination is one to visit this season.
The jolly man himself, Santa Claus together with his Mrs., will be available for photo opportunities from Sunday 30th November until the 23rd December prior to their round-the-world annual trip! And you can post your letter to Santa in the designated mailbox for a free guaranteed reply for Malta and Gozo based addresses.
Enjoy daily festive parades taking place every Wednesday through to Sunday at 19:30hrs. Visitors are invited to witness a charming procession led by Santa Claus and Mrs. Claus, accompanied by an array of colourful Christmas characters, skilled jugglers, stilt walkers, and the stirring sounds of pipes, drums, and traditional marching bands, with some sweet surprises thrown in for good measure.
Guests may enjoy the spectacle from the comfort of their restaurant seat along the route, taking in the atmosphere as the parade moves past. The experience is complemented by a selection of seasonal dishes, warm infused drinks, and diverse cuisines offered by the restaurants lining the waterfront, creating an evening that blends festive tradition with relaxed enjoyment.
What’s more: there are more free planned activities for the younger patrons from Winter Wonderland tuff tray parties to slime decorating, reclaimed wood craft painting, sand art, facepainting and more.
Whether you’re in the mood for a casual bite or a hearty meal, Valletta Waterfront’s variety of restaurants promises something for everyone to enjoy on this special journey.
All activities are organised free of charge courtesy of the Valletta Waterfront restaurants: Bistro 516, Browns Kitchen, Hard Rock Cafe Malta, Hi Sushi, Nan Yuan, Ta’ Detta Restaurant, Ta’ Drinu Restaurant, Tribelli as well as Valletta Cruise Port.
