Maltese festas are vibrant celebrations that usually last a week, featuring lively band marches, colourful street decorations, and spectacular fireworks. The local community comes together for a joyful procession on the main day, where a statue is carried through the streets in honour of the patron saint. In San Gwann, the village festa dedicated to Our Lady of Lourdes is a highlight each August. If you're planning to join in the festivities, arrive early to secure parking, as crowds can be significant during the weekend celebrations.
