Summer’s Flying By, But You Can Still Make It To These Upcoming Festi All Around Malta
One of this island’s main summer attractions are the traditional village feasts happening on the island on a weekly basis. Festi (as they’re called in Maltese) are a celebration of each town’s patron saint and commonly involve a church parade, food trucks and a lavish firework display.
We’ve all probably experienced at least one festa this summer (in some way, shape or form) but if you make up the minority who haven’t, don’t worry, you’re still in luck.
We’ve gathered a list of all the remaining festi so you know where to go and when. For the rest of us, this list acts as a reminder where NOT to drive past on our way home from work.
