The Theme Art
The Maltese festa brings families, communities and generations together in villages across the islands, United by Music and a shared spirit of celebration. For Junior Eurovision 2026, its flags, decorations, band music, processions and festive atmosphere will inspire the show’s staging, lighting, sound and more.
