If you’re visiting Malta in September, get ready to witness one of the island’s most exciting traditions: the Ġostra! Taking place in Marsalforn, Gozo, the event sees brave competitors attempting to run along a long, greased wooden pole that stretches out over the sea. At the very end, a small flag awaits and whoever manages to grab it without slipping into the water is the winner! 🎉
The Ġostra is both thrilling and entertaining, drawing locals and tourists alike to cheer, laugh, and enjoy the festive spirit by the sea. It’s a true showcase of Maltese culture, combining courage, balance, and plenty of fun.
This year’s Otters Ġostra takes place on 7 September 2025, from 5:00 pm to 6:30 pm in Triq Santa Marija, Marsalforn. Whether you’re a first-time visitor or a returning guest, it’s an event you won’t want to miss during your stay at Grands Suites Hotel & Spa.
Book your holiday with us and experience Malta’s traditions up close then return to the comfort of your suite and rooftop views after a day of adventure. ✨
