# Earth Garden Festival Coincides with General Election for Second Time

## In brief

- The Earth Garden Festival is set to coincide with Malta's general election for the second consecutive time.
- This year's festival will take place at Ta’ Qali National Park from 29th to 31st May.
- Organisers had previously tried to reschedule the event to avoid the overlap, but it remains "latched onto" the election timing.

The popular Earth Garden Festival is once again scheduled to take place on the same weekend as Malta's general election. This marks the second consecutive time that the festival, a significant cultural event, has overlapped with a national vote.

This year's edition of the festival is planned for Ta’ Qali National Park, running from 29th to 31st May. The announcement of the general election has confirmed the unfortunate timing clash.

Times of Malta noted that organisers had previously attempted to move the festival dates to avoid this overlap. However, despite these efforts, the event remains "latched onto" the election timing, a situation described as "almost hilarious" by the outlet.

## The Spin Room

**Low media divide.** Both Lovin Malta and Times of Malta reported on the Earth Garden Festival's timing clash with the election, noting the coincidence.
