Description

Karta Festa 2026 at Esplora

This Carnival season, Esplora invites families to experience Karta Festa—a vibrant celebration inspired by the spirit of the Maltese Carnival, where tradition, creativity, and STEAM come together.

Rooted in the age-old Carnival practices of crafting, costume-making, and playful invention, Karta Festa transforms everyday materials into imaginative creations through hands-on activities and interactive experiences.

From building and repairing, to experimenting and designing, visitors are encouraged to explore how creativity and science have always been at the heart of Carnival.

With a strong focus on sustainability, conservation, and responsible resource use, Karta Festa connects cultural heritage with contemporary challenges. Through workshops, science shows, and family-friendly activities, Esplora becomes a lively indoor carnival space where curiosity thrives, and learning is joyful.

Dates: 14-17 February
