The fourth edition of the highly-successful Maltese Islands Festival of drama, dance, music and singing returns, and the public is welcome to attend. This internationally-accredited performing arts festival is aimed at children and young people between the ages of 4 and 18, with some categories open to adults. While offering young artists a platform for networking with their peers, the MIF takes the form of a competition, giving participants the opportunity to showcase their talents in front of an audience and panel of international judges, all experts in their field.
