The main activities are held in the streets of the Maltese Capital Valletta and Floriana, but other activities are held in various villages around Malta and in Gozo. Carnival is organised prior to the Catholic period of Lent which comes prior to the religious festivities of Easter Sunday. During these activities, children run around in all sorts of fancy dress costumes. Carnivals in Malta were first organised shortly after the Knights came to the Island in 1535. Today Carnival is one of the main Cultural events in the Maltese cultural calendar.
