The Mellieħa Local Council will be organising the first edition of Mellieħa's New Year's Eve celebrations in the Mellieħa Parish Square. This event is being supported by the Parliamentary Secretariat for Local Government and the Malta Tourism Authority.

The event will start at 9pm with a varied programme of music and songs for all the family. A children's choir and local musicians and DJs will also take part. At around midnight a 3D projection will be displayed on the facade of the Parish Church and the New Year will be welcomed with a spectacular fireworks' display coordinated by the Mellieħa Fireworks Society, Għaqda tan-Nar Maria Bambina. A varied musical programme for everyone's taste will follow.

As part of the preparations for this event, the Mellieħa Local Council has published a programme of events offering space for Mellieħa NGOs to promote their acitivites which are being organised during the Christmas period. This programme will be distributed in various localities around Malta so that the Council continues to support these local NGOs and their activities. The Local Council encourages everyone to attend. This programme of events can be viewed on www.mellieha.gov.mt.

The Mellieħa Local Council would like to thank all those involved in this activity for their input. Such professional input is required in order for this first edition to achieve the desired success.
