Thousands of Maltese revellers celebrated carnival in Nadur, the local council said.

"Following the excellent start for the spontaneous Carnival in Nadur on Friday, this Carnival undoubtedly reaches its crux on Saturday night, where the Nadur centre is literally full up. People of all ages, from each corner of the Maltese islands, foreigners, families, youths and kids, wear their own costumes, some of them very original and others very particular."

"In a few words, Nadur turns into a huge feast of celebration, fun and colours. An event that once again was successful without major issues when considering the thousands of participants. The Nadur Carnival is full of spontaneous floats that related to satirical themes and contemporary issues, including flyovers, road constructions, issues at Castille, the interconnector and many others."

"All this was complemented with hundreds of groups gathering up and wearing complementing costumes. Without any doubt the Nadur Carnival sees and welcomes the largest mass of people that one can imagine for Carnival, making it the most anticipated on the islands."
