It also commemorates the iconic visit of Queen Elizabeth II, then a princess, to the local lace-makers at Dar ta’ Xelina. Through narratives and shared memories, the event offers a glimpse into Sannat’s evolving identity and its enduring connection to the square at the heart of village life.

Region of Culture Gozo 2025: Programme Launch

To celebrate the launch of Region of Culture – Gozo 2025, instead of one central celebration, the Artistic Director and team have worked with every Local Council to develop initiatives taking place across various localities, forming a collective celebration over a weekend that brings different spaces and communities to life. This approach serves as both an invitation to the public and a reflection of the programme’s ethos. Each event highlights a meaningful aspect of its locality, showcasing distinctive places, traditions and art forms. By focusing on small-scale yet impactful interventions, the launch reinforces the commitment to innovation, collaboration and community engagement.

Building on existing connections between cultural stakeholders while establishing new partnerships to broaden Gozo’s cultural network, the programme will also strengthen and elevate current cultural initiatives to align with the region’s evolving artistic and strategic objectives.
