More than 100,000 persons attended the second edition of Christmas in the Park, organised by the Ministry for the Environment, Energy and Enterprise. Spanning over 10 days, and with free entrance, the Salini National Park was turned into a Christmas Village, attracting locals and foreigners alike. The village served both as a Christmas attraction and an educational experience about sustainable development and environmental care. Crafts, products and stalls promoted sustainability whilst giving children and adults a hands-on experience.
With Christmas characters such as Santa Claus, Rudolph and Frosty the Snowman and the participation of singers and bands, visitors were indeed treated to a magical time. A section of the park was transformed into an Enchanted Forest, whilst an illuminated pathway guided visitors to another section of the park.
“Our commitment is for families to enjoy open spaces and we’re working on making them more accessible. Such activities not only attract the public but can also serve as an educational experience,” Minister Miriam Dalli said. She noted that the ministry organises a series of activities such as Wirt in-Natura throughout the year. These activities, with free entrance, will continue throughout 2023.
The ministry thanked everyone for their attendance.
