Summer might be over on Gozo but that doesn’t mean the island slows down. October is opera season, which means not just performances at both Teatru Astra and Aurora, but a whole range of related concerts and workshops.
If arias aren’t your thing, there’s plenty of other events to choose from. Including the International Kite & Wind Festival, the Auro International Folk Festival and a whole slew of exhibitions.
October is also Elderly Month on Gozo and there’s a whole schedule of activities, from open days to exercise classes.
