For the first time since the pandemic, the public is invited to watch the live show in the Grand Harbour from Quarry Wharf, (Fast Ferry Terminal area).

Events will begin at 8:00 pm with Tellieqa Telliqun, an entertaining competition in the Grand Harbour between a number of teams who will be racing their homemade sea crafts without the use of traditional oars and engines. Each vessel will be named for British naval ships that were present during World War II.

The show will continue with a concert of popular music led by Maestro Paul Abela with the participation of The Palace String Orchestra under the musical direction of Ryan Paul Abela and lighting effects that will take the audience back in time to the forties. Meanwhile, a special edition of the regatta by night, with the participation of six clubs from around the Grand Harbour, will follow.

The main performance will consist of a theatrical and audiovisual experience under the direction of Lee N Abela, that will explore the circumstances of the Maltese during those difficult times, by means of projections on Fort Saint Angelo and with the participation of the Moveo Dance Company and a diverse cast of prominent local actors including Theresa Gauci, Paul Portelli, Charlotte Grech, Cassandra Spiteri and many others.

The evening closes with a fireworks installation at sea and a grand pyrotechnic display.

This project is supported by Visit Malta, the Armed Forces of Malta and Tug Malta.
