A Maltese festa is a vibrant annual celebration featuring lively band marches, colourful street decorations, and dazzling fireworks throughout the week. The highlight is the grand procession, where a statue of the local saint is carried through the village. In Hamrun, the festa of St Cajetan (San Gejtanu) takes place every August, drawing locals and visitors alike. Expect lively crowds and an atmosphere brimming with tradition.
