A Marketplace of Meaningful Finds
Set against the stunning backdrop of the Upper Barrakka Gardens in Valletta, the Eco Festival showcases a thoughtfully curated selection of handmade artisan products, sustainable fashion, one-of-a-kind home décor, and eco-friendly souvenirs that reflect Malta’s creativity and cultural flair. Whether you’re shopping for a gift or picking up a unique memento from Malta, you’re sure to find something that suits your style — and your values.
A Family-Friendly Green Experience
This year’s edition is in proud partnership with Project Green, who will be bringing a range of engaging, eco-focused activities to the gardens. On Saturday and Sunday, visitors can enjoy:
- A plant potting station where you can get your hands dirty (in the best way),
- Interactive games for kids like Jenga, wordsearch challenges, and sensory discovery boxes,
- Immersive VR experiences — all completely free of charge.
It’s an event designed to inspire all ages to embrace sustainability and appreciate the beauty of our natural world — while enjoying one of Valletta’s most scenic locations overlooking the Grand Harbour.
