Why Visit Gozo in February
Gozo is never truly quiet and while life might slow down a little in January, as the festive celebrations conclude and the weather encourages you to stay inside. February is when Gozo starts sparking back to life, ready for the year ahead, with a packed calendar of events, from romantic Valentine’s Day celebrations to the colourful spectacle of Carnival.
The weather in February can still be a little cool, with temperatures ranging from 15° – 16°C (59° – 60° Fahrenheit) during the day and 10° – 12°C (50° – 54° Fahrenheit) at night. Rain is still possible, but it’s usually drier than January.
February is a wonderful month to visit, Gozo really goes to town on its Valentine’s Day celebrations, and in 2026, the Gozo Carnival festivities stretch from the 7 February to the 17 February.
