Visit Malta: Summer in Malta is not only about weather. The events calendar is a major part of the season, and several 2026 listings are already live on VisitMalta.
One of the biggest headline events is Isle of MTV Malta 2026, listed for 22 July 2026, with VisitMalta stating that Katy Perry is set to headline.
Another major summer event is the Farsons Beer Festival, listed on VisitMalta from 23 July 2026 to 2 August 2026 at Ta’ Qali National Park.
For travellers who prefer a more relaxed harbour atmosphere, the Valletta Waterfront Summer Festival is also listed on VisitMalta as a music, food, and harbourside summer event.
Summer also overlaps with Malta’s long-running village feast season. VisitMalta’s cultural calendar states that, with few exceptions, villages across Malta and Gozo come alive with week-long feasts between May and September, while its festa feature describes late May to early September as the core period for summer village feasts.
One of the most important August dates is Santa Marija, the Feast of the Assumption, which VisitMalta lists for 15 August 2026.
