Totoperżuta One Team present their greatest hits. This float is filled with prominent
characters who featured in their winning floats throughout the years, such as the comical character Gahan, the cheerful circus clown, a character who is frantically trying to finish a carnival float and an Indian Eagle. Towering at the centre of the float one can find elements from the Triton Fountain from last year’s installation with Raymond il-Perżuta and his son Rodrick it-Toto perched on top, while the back of the float is decorated with the company’s logo.

The native Americans have had enough of people taking their land and disrupting their peace. They decided to get back at the colonisers, particularly that pompous Italian explorer who supposedly discovered America, and travelled to Italy to take over their land. Instead, they ended up in Malta and found themselves in the middle of Carnival. People were so laid back that they decided to stay and join the fun!

Battalja għat-Teżor
A long time ago, three coded messages were unearthed by three factions: The musketeers, the Vikings and the pirates. The factions managed to decipher the messages and found out that they were coordinates to a location in the centre of the Mediterranean. With the prospect of great riches in mind, they set sail to the coordinates and met for an epic battle. X marked the spot, and the pirates, Vikings and musketeers found themselves at the centre of St George’s Square in Valletta, just in time for Carnival.
