How a festa works
Il-festa
The feast
The main feast day is usually a Sunday, but the celebrations build over the week or more before it.
Marċ
Band march
The village band parades through the streets. The livelier marches are usually in the evening.
Murtali tal-art
Ground fireworks
Catherine wheels and ground displays, usually late on the night before the feast day.
Murtali tal-ajru
Aerial fireworks
Classic aerial shells. Some parishes fire them during the day too, just for the noise.
Purċissjoni
Procession
The saint's statue is carried through the decorated streets on the feast day evening.
Qubbajt
Festa nougat
Sold from stalls on every festa street.
Every festa in 2026, by date
All 133 village feasts from the Archdiocese of Malta's list, in date order. Each one has its own page.
