For over 20 years, Valletta Waterfront, has welcomed the New Year with a fireworks display that lights up the Grand Harbour at the stroke of midnight, organised by Valletta Cruise Port and the Valletta Waterfront restaurants. It has become a much-loved moment in the Harbour’s festive calendar.
Rooted in local firework traditions and organised as a way of giving back to the community, the display organised by Valletta Waterfront takes place within Id-Daħla tal-Franċiżi (French Creek). Set within a living, working harbour – the Grand Harbour – the destination offers a unique setting where history, everyday activity and celebration come together.
Malta’s Grand Harbour has earned a strong reputation as a top location to celebrate New Year’s Eve, made possible by the collaboration of many local stakeholders who work together to showcase Malta to visitors from around the world, and fills locals with pride.
The fireworks can be enjoyed from many vantage points, including Valletta Waterfront itself — whether dining comfortably at its varied restaurants or dropping by for a drink — as well as the Floriana Bastions and surrounding harbour areas such as the Barrakka Gardens, Triq Girolamo Cassar, Crucifix Hill, Triq il-Vittmi Furjaniżi tal-Gwerra, Birgu, Senglea, Bormla and other key spots around the Grand Harbour.
