This year, Żigużajg, the International Arts Festival for Children and Young People, will be running its own children’s and family area at the Upper Barrakka Gardens as part of Notte Bianca – taking place around the streets of Valletta on 4 October.
The programme for the evening will also provide a special preview of this year’s Żigużajg. Highlights include Michael Galea and band, Trevor Zahra, Govann Attard with the Drama Unit and Xarulu with guest musicians Peter Paul and Antoine from Tribali, who will alternate on the main stage between 7pm and 9.45pm.
Meanwhile, in the surrounding area, animations will be projected as part of a project by Ruben Zahra, Vee Stivala will entertain children with a puppet show and the St James Animation team will run an art workshop.
This year’s Żigużajg – now in its fourth edition – will run between 17-23 November. With a rich programme of Maltese and international artistic performances, this is the only festival in Malta where children and young people are truly centre stage.
Parents are advised that the event will be filmed and photographed.
