The Carnival tragedy of 1823, also known as the Valletta stampede in 1823, is a human crush that occurs on February 11, 1823 at the Convent of the Minori Osservanti in Valletta, Malta.
About one hundred and ten boys who had gone to the convent to receive bread on the last day of carnival celebrations are killed after falling down a flight of steps while trying to get out of the convent.
