What’s Going on in Malta & Gozo – November Edition (2025)

November brings a softer rhythm to Malta and Gozo. After the intensity of summer and the colourful rush of autumn festivals, the islands enter a gentler season filled with creativity, culture, and warmth. The sea remains inviting, cafés buzz with locals again, and the cultural calendar lights up with theatre, music, and art.

It’s the perfect month for those who prefer experiences over crowds and want to see the Maltese islands at their most authentic.

Here’s your November 2025 guide to the top events, performances, and places worth discovering across Malta and Gozo.

✦ Spotlight Events: Not to Miss

One of Gozo’s most anticipated cultural highlights this month is Disney’s La Belle et la Bête Live Musical, staged at the Don Bosco Oratory Theatre in Victoria. Performances will be held on the 7th, 8th, 9th, 15th, and 16th of November 2025, bringing this beloved story to life with exceptional local talent. The production is led by Artistic Director Jamie William Camilleri, with Mark Gauci as Music Conductor et Sandra Cupic as Ensemble Director — a creative team known for their refined direction and musical excellence.
Tickets are available through the Don Bosco Oratory Theatre website or by phone (2155 6616 / 9948 7751), and prices vary by seating category. This enchanting show promises an evening of music, colour and timeless storytelling, a wonderful family experience and a celebration of Gozo’s thriving performing arts scene.

Malta closes the month with pure energy. Rockwired returns to Valletta, transforming the historic Mediterranean Conference Centre into a full-scale live music arena. Expect powerful performances from top Maltese bands, striking visuals, and a soundscape that fills the grand halls of the old hospital. It’s a show built for those who like their music bold and their nights unforgettable.

The festival returns with a week of evening concerts by internationally acclaimed pianists and a strong educational focus. Daily performances begin at 7:00 pm. Masterclasses led by renowned pianist and pedagogue Maurizio Moretti run during the day from 4–7 November, offering a rare chance to observe high-level instruction in an inspiring heritage setting. Open to the public and ideal for music lovers who want an intimate concert experience in Gozo.

The Malta Book Festival continues to grow as a cornerstone of the cultural calendar. This year’s theme, Writing Anew, brings together authors, publishers, illustrators, and readers for talks, workshops, and book signings. Perfect for families and curious minds, it’s a space where stories meet community and inspiration.

🌿 Beyond the Calendar: How to Enjoy November in Malta and Gozo

When the big stages go quiet, November reveals a calmer side of the islands — one that’s ideal for reflection, exploration, and local connection.

With fewer visitors, this is the moment to explore Valletta’s narrow streets, visit St John’s Co-Cathedral, or take a ferry across to Birgu for a relaxed waterfront lunch. The capital’s charm is best experienced at this quieter pace.

November is Gozo’s time to glow softly. Pair your trip to Beauty and the Beast with a weekend exploring Victoria, its artisan markets, and coastal paths. End your evening with dinner at one of Gozo’s family-run restaurants — the island feels personal this time of year.

Cooler evenings are perfect for the National Museum of Archaeology in Valletta or the Maritime Museum in Birgu. Families will love the National Aquarium in Qawra or the Esplora Science Centre in Kalkara — engaging, fun, and sheltered from any passing showers.

Visit local markets in Ta’ Qali, Marsaxlokk, or Gozo’s Villa Rundle Gardens. November brings the first new olives, honey, and early wines of the season — a chance to enjoy Malta’s authentic produce before the festive rush begins.

If you enjoy outdoor fitness, the Żurrieq Half Marathon and 10K offers scenic routes through Malta’s southern coast. Whether you run or cheer, it’s a great way to join in the community spirit while soaking up the island’s late-autumn sunshine.

☀️ A Month of Culture, Calm, and Connection

November is when Malta and Gozo reveal their quieter beauty. The pace slows, the sea glows a little softer, and culture steps into focus. From the magic of Gozo’s Beauty and the Beast to Valletta’s Rockwired finale, this is a month that balances calm with creativity.

Take your time. Wander, listen, taste, and connect. The islands feel most genuine when you let them move at their own rhythm.
