Boy oh boy are we spoilt for choice this weekend. Not only do we have music events happening #AllDayEveryDay but there’s also a quirky film fest and an eco market to attend. In fact, there’s so much going on in Malta that we’ve had to extend our weekend list to include Thursday.
So let’s get to it. These are all the events you need to make time for this weekend… even if it’s physically impossible to make it to all of them.
Thursday 25th July
1. Starting the weekend early with some beer and music
Happening all weekend (and longer) is the annual Beer Fest, with Manatapu and Loathe headlining tonight, and so many more acts performing over the next 10 days that we decided devoted an entire article to it.
