The 29th edition of the Victoria International Arts Festival (VIAF) is taking place between Friday 12 June and Monday 13 July 2026, bringing five weeks of orchestral, choral and chamber music performances to Gozo.
Recognised as Malta’s longest-running festival of its kind and supported by APS Bank, VIAF continues to attract artists from across the world, transforming Victoria into a meeting place for musicians, audiences and cultural enthusiasts. Founded by the late Mro Joseph Vella and now under the artistic direction of George Joseph Frendo, the Festival has become an established fixture on Malta’s cultural calendar, offering a varied programme of concerts and performances that enrich the cultural and social life of Gozo.
Jeremy Vassallo, CSR Manager at APS Bank, said: “The arts have the power to inspire, educate and connect people. The Victoria International Arts Festival has been doing this successfully for many years, and we are proud to support an initiative that contributes to the cultural development of Gozo while creating opportunities for audiences to experience high-quality performances.”
