A Maltese festa is a vibrant celebration that features a week of band marches, dazzling street decorations, and spectacular fireworks, culminating in a grand procession. Sliema’s very own festa honours Our Lady of the Sacred Heart at the Sacro Cuor church, attracting locals and visitors alike. The main day is particularly lively, filled with excitement as the statue is carried through the streets. A practical tip? Parking can be a bit of a nightmare during the festivities, so consider arriving early to find a spot or using public transport to avoid the crowds.
