During the previous night, Carnival organisers, Festivals Malta along with Carnival participants moved the floats under the shelter of this tent in order to protect them from the wind and rain. As such, all participants\u2019 work has been safeguarded and can still be fully enjoyed by the public from Saturday evening onwards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Festivals Malta is currently in ongoing discussions with the Police and Transport Malta, in order to best organise the floats transport once the weather clears up tomorrow. This is currently projected to begin around 11am.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Festivals Malta is appealing to the public to make use of public transport as much as possible in order to avoid using Marsa roads leading to Valletta and alleviate excessive traffic congestion. Affected Marsa roads include the industrial area near ONE stations, Aldo Moro Street (towards Santa Lu\u010bija), Marsa Cross Road, Patri Feli\u010bjan Bilocca Street, Fishermen Street, the Menqa project area, and Spencer Hill (where Lohombus Bank was located). National Road in Blata l-Bajda (towards Porte des Bombes) and St. Anne Street, Floriana will also be affected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tickets purchased for the Friday show can be used for both the Saturday show, which starts at 5pm, or the Monday show, which starts at 3.30pm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
