Ghanafest

Every year in June, Ghanafest is a two-day music festival held in the beautiful surroundings of Argotti Gardens in Floriana. The Ghanafest festival is named after the Maltese traditional singing style known as 'Gana' (pronounced A-na). Although the program includes elements of this musical genre, it also goes beyond local borders, bringing together soundscapes and cultures that appear to be far apart but are actually closer than one might believe. Due to their history, connection with the national image, and the ever-changing speed of folk itself, even Maltese traditional and more avant-gardist art forms will fit into the scheme of things.

It also features international music from the Mediterranean region. The festival's overall goal is to highlight the traditional genre's unity in variety. The picturesque celebration takes place in the lovely Argotti Gardens on Floriana's bastions.
