One of Malta's charming traditions, a festa is a week-long celebration featuring band marches, vibrant street decorations, and spectacular fireworks. In Ghajnsielem, the village comes alive in May to honour St Anthony of Padua with a grand procession featuring the saint's statue on the main day. It's a splendid time to experience local culture, though do anticipate crowds, especially on the final day. For a smoother visit, consider arriving early to secure parking and enjoy the festivities without the rush.
