Discover Malta : Agenda (Events / Folklore / Festivals)
Mentioning festivities in Malta automatically brings to mind festas! The festa is the patronal feast, an important event in the life of the village. Frequently coinciding with important dates for the island (15 August, 8 September), it gives rise to a considerable gathering and fervour: each village, each club, each association applies itself to making the festa a brilliant success. One comes to regret not having the gift of ubiquity to follow, around September 8, several festas at the same time. As soon as you arrive, find out the dates of the festas on the island or on Gozo, and don't miss them. But it's not just the village festas and religious carnivals that keep you busy, active and out and about. Throughout the year, there are many other events to attend or participate in. |
