CARNIVAL COMPANIES
Over the years, the competitions including carnival companies evolved according to the needs of the moment.
In the past (when there used to be a binary distinction between sexes) there was Company Section A, otherwise known as the “Couples” company where dancers would be paired up as couples, one being of the male gender and the other the female gender.
On the other hand Company Section B was also known as the “singles” section where it was not obligatory for the couple to be made up of persons from different genders.
In the past, Section A, B and even Section C are accompanied by gloats associated with the subject.
When company section D was introduced, this was created so those who did not want to present a float could still participate.
COMPANY SECTION A
This is the only section which includes 3 competitions in one which includes a competition for costumes, floats and dance. People who apply to take part in this section must present a group of dancers, a costume and a float related to the overall theme.
The company in Section A must include no less than 25 people, and not more than 36 people dancing. The members of the company must be 13 years and older on the day of Mardi Gras.
COMPANY SECTION B
This section is composed of 2 competitions in one section: a competition for costume and another one for dance.
The companies in section B, must be made up of no less than 20 persons and not more than 36 for the dance. The dancers in this category must be of the age of 13 years and up on the day of Mardi gras of that same year.
COMPANY SECTION C
This section is also composed of two competitions in one section, as in section B. The difference between the two sections is that this election allows for dancers to be between the ages of 6 and 13.
COMPANY SECTION D
Participants in this section must participate in a costume which celebrates the “simple carnival costume” which is synonymous with the Maltese Carnival in the past.
Every performance must be composed of between 24 to 36 persons. The persons involved must be 13 years and older on the day of Mardi Gras of that year. The company can also include two mascots that are not younger than 5 years old on the day of Mardi gras who do not take part in the dance.

Getting to Carnival in Valletta & Floriana
During the five main days of Carnival in Valletta, thousands of people swarm Malta’s capital city to catch a glimpse of the carnival floats, dances and many of the other activities which form part of this yearly celebration. For this reason, getting to Valletta may not be as easy as usual. Make sure to plan your trip ahead of time.
Throughout the 5 days of Carnival, Valletta can be accessed by:
Bicycle
With a bicycle, parking is far easier than with a private vehicle. Valletta has a few areas where bicycles can be parked. For more information on where you can park your bicycle in Valletta, scroll down to the CityNomadi map at the end of this page.
Private E-Scooter
Personal e-scooters can be used and parked around Valletta. But make sure to take care of your e-scooters! There will be dances, parades, and carnival floats roaming around most of Valletta’s streets, so make sure to park your e-scooter in a space that does not obstruct carnival traffic.
Bus
Most buses in Malta lead to the Valletta bus terminus, so getting to Malta’s capital city. More information on the bus schedule and how you can make your way can be found on Transport Malta’s website here.
Private Car
Getting to Carnival in Valletta by car should be your last resort. Whilst using a private car is convenient, parking during the days of Carnival is incredibly difficult. If you absolutely need to use a car, try to carpool with friends or other parties. You can also leave your car at the Park & Ride or consider taking a taxi.
Ferry
For visitors catching ferries from Sliema, the Three Cities or Gozo, make sure to have a look at the ferries’ websites to see if there are any changes in the ferries’ schedule.
