I refer to the news item/report entitled “New Year’s Eve parties: Floriana council calls Valletta council ‘copycat’” (TMIS, 5 December), to point out that, as usual, Floriana local council is organising a national New Year’s Eve celebration/street party on Friday, 31 December in St Anne Street (Floriana).

Malta’s top artistes (including Claudia Faniello, Thea Garrett and ‘Big Band Brothers’) will be taking part.

Edward Torpiano
