About this event

Republic Day commemorates 13 December 1974, when Malta became a republic and Sir Anthony Mamo became the country’s first President. Official commemorations are held in Valletta and typically include a ceremonial parade by the Armed Forces of Malta in St George’s Square, attended by Malta’s highest state authorities. Public events and marches may also take place along Republic Street throughout the day.
Please note: The detailed 2026 ceremony programme and exact timings may be confirmed closer to the date. Some official areas may be reserved for invited guests, while the public can watch from designated areas around St George’s Square. Arrive early, as security measures and temporary access restrictions may be in place.
