Earth Garden is the ultimate alternative festival and it is major in Malta!
It will be held this weekend between 3 - 5 June at Ta’ Qali Picnic Area.
This will be the 15th time that this festival will be taking place on our island.
Unfortunately, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, this event had to skip the last 2 years but we’re glad it’s back!
Music from all over the world
This year's line up is truly incredible! There might be some artists that you have never heard of, but you will surely love them.
Some of those playing include: Panda Dub (all the way from France), the famous Maltese band - Tribali, Salted Dread, as well as, a mixed nationality band called ManaTapu!
There will be 4 stages in all: Roots Stage, Enchanted Forest, Strawberry Hill and Electronic Sphere.
Camping experience
The camping area opens at 13:00 on Friday 3 June, and you are welcome to bring your own camping gear (you don’t need a lot of stuff, honestly).
However, you should get a portable fan if you are in possession of one, and oh yeah, mosquito spray!
Ensure that you have bought your camping tickets, which go against a fee of €45.
If you haven’t acquired them yet, you are still in time to do so online.
Colours and decorations
If you have never been to Earth Garden, get ready to be fascinated with the most artistic decorations, which will make Ta’ Qali look almost unrecognisable.
If you are camping, you are very welcome to get your own decorations… it will only add to the great atmosphere!
A dance vibe
Wear good shoes or none at all!
Earth Garden will provide a space to flow with your own movement - you don’t need to know how to dance, all you have to do is move and allow yourself to embrace new music and dance with those around you.
Good food
There will be a selection of food options, from Indian to fast food to Thai.
Whilst having a break from dancing, it would be a good idea to fill your belly with some good food!
Some of the popular eateries at Earth Garden are: Foam & Fork, Dr. Juice, Saigon, Hermanosa and Kreperee.
Full list can be found online.
Artisan/ethnic market
Various creatives from all over the island will be selling their handmade items and crafts at the market.
Items such as jewellery, clothes, furniture, decorations will be available, and you will have to come and see more on the spot.
Apart from the market, there will also be healing workshops.
Anyone interested in discovering more about mediation, yoga, discussion, painting and wellbeing should definitely attend these healing sessions.
All in all, Earth Garden will be one of the best ways to kick off your Summer 2022!
And we know that some of you might have exams on Friday and Saturday or even Monday, but some dancing, eating, meeting new people or even a yoga workshop will do you well!
Earth Garden is not just a festival, it’s an experience, so expect an unforgettable experience!
