One of the first things that tourists visiting Malta in summer notice is the constant festivities (called festi) happening around the island on a weekly basis. It seems like every single weekend, a Maltese village or two is decorated in bright parish colours and filled to the brim with cheerful people and food trucks straight out of everyone’s guilty pleasure fantasy. And that’s without mentioning the staggering amount of colourful fireworks which light up Malta’s nights. 

Well, between June and September, 82 feasts are celebrated around our tiny archipelago. In case you were wondering, that number is big. Too big for many to keep a full track of, in fact.
