A Maltese festa is a vibrant local celebration that combines band marches, stunning street decorations, and magnificent fireworks. In Attard, the village comes alive each August for The Assumption (Santa Marija), where the community gathers to honour the event with a grand procession featuring the statue of the saint on the main day. Expect lively crowds, so it's wise to arrive early to secure parking; nearby streets may get quite congested. Embrace the joyous atmosphere and savour the local treats while celebrating this cherished tradition with the locals.
