A Maltese festa is a vibrant local celebration, typically featuring a week of lively band marches, eye-catching street decorations, and spectacular fireworks. In Tarxien, the village comes alive in June for the festa of The Annunciation (Marija Annunzjata). The highlight is the procession with the statue, where the whole community joins in to honour their patron saint. If you're planning to attend, be mindful of crowds, especially on the main day. Parking can be tricky, so consider arriving early to secure a spot and soak up the festive atmosphere.
