The Party Has Landed! 11 Awesome Events To Kick Off The First Weekend Of October In Malta
Bye-bye summer, hello autumn! And while in most other European countries autumn beckons a quieter and more chilled out vibe, Malta’s Mediterranean weather means we can keep the party going around all year long.
This weekend, we welcome some new events to the mix but also welcome back the return of classics such as Frisco Disco, Trackage Scheme and the latest edition of Tenishia’s chasing sunsets.
As always, we have something happening for everyone this weekend, from punk rock to heavy metal and raves to darties; here’s how the first weekend of October is shaping up…
