Every parish celebrates its saint with bands, a procession and fireworks. Dates come from the Archdiocese of Malta's 2026 list.
How a festa works
The main feast day is usually a Sunday, but the celebrations build over the week or more before it.
The village band parades through the streets. The livelier marches are usually in the evening.
Catherine wheels and ground displays, usually late on the night before the feast day.
Classic aerial shells. Some parishes fire them during the day too, just for the noise.
The saint's statue is carried through the decorated streets on the feast day evening.
Sold from stalls on every festa street. Try it with a ħobża of imqaret.
