Now that your exams are over this is the time of year when you can dream of heroes and let your imagination wander to let them “live” their “life” for a few days. Who is your favourite character? What costume are you going to wear? In this issue of Crackers we are publishing all the masks we received in connection with the McDonald’s Carnival competition. The winners will each receive a Kids’ Meal voucher courtesy of McDonald’s.

When was the first time that Carnival was celebrated? In older times, how was carnival celebrated? Read more about the beginning of the Carnival festivities in our article, The History of Carnival in Malta. It would be interesting to know what has been prepared for these festive days in Valletta – the programme shown in the same article will keep you updated day by day, from tomorrow up until Tuesday 20 February.

Heritage Malta has once again sent us a very interesting and informative article. This month’s article is about the Inquisitor’s Palace which is located in Main Gate Street, Vittoriosa. Why don’t you take advantage of the Carnival holidays and pay a visit to this magnificent palace?

Enjoy your holidays and see you next Thursday
