Valletta Cruise Port organises party for children residing in children’s homes

Personnel at Valletta Cruise Port plc organised a Carnival party at Magazino Hall, Valletta Waterfront for children residing in local children’s homes.

Throughout the afternoon animation was provided by Once Upon A Time in which various children’s film characters kept children delighted with dancing and party games. Summerbell Dance Malta and Freestyle Dance Studio entertained with a vast repertoire of dances, with children also joining in the fun. A magical show was organised courtesy of the Maltese Arab Chamber of Commerce, where children were treated to mesmerising illusions and tricks.

The event closed off with the surprise appearance of Malta Eurovision Song Contest winner Christabelle Borg. Attendees were treated to a rendition of the winning song Taboo, followed by photo opportunities with the artist. The singer also spent time discussing her experience to date with a number of teenagers present. Attending children were treated to a goody bag including educational and novelty items and candy.
