September is the final month of summer on Gozo. The last golden stretch, filled with sunshine, sea breezes, and a lively calendar of events that bring the island’s heart to life.
It’s a great time to make the most of the sea and all the outdoor events before we head into October and Gozo’s Opera Season. It’s also Gozo Pride. The main march takes place on 6 September, but there’s a a wide range of events taking place throughout the month.
