Get In Loser: This Weekend In Malta Is One Long Wild Ride Of Events
As the blistering heat starts to calm down, day-time events become more bearable and Malta opens its doors to some cool(er) autumn parties, activities and conferences that can only be enjoyed this time of the year are finally landing on the island.
From the Mdina Grand Prix to the sixth edition of the Malta Tattoo Expo, there’s going to be something you’re going to want to attend this weekend to keep you busy. Of course, we’ve chucked in the odd party or two, but really what we’re trying to hint at here is that there’s a whole bunch of other cool stuff to go to this weekend that doesn’t involve drinking and partying all the time (OK, maybe you can get away with that too!)
