Next year's date goes up here as soon as the parish announces it. Festas usually fall on the same weekend each year.

A Maltese festa is a lively celebration, with week-long band marches, dazzling street decorations, and vibrant fireworks culminating in a grand procession. The village of Mqabba comes alive each June to honour Our Lady of the Lilies, with locals and visitors alike participating in the festivities. Expect an electric atmosphere filled with music, lights, and community spirit. However, do bear in mind that parking can be quite tricky, so it's wise to arrive early or consider public transport to avoid the crowds. Enjoy the spectacle!
