Maltese festas are vibrant local celebrations, typically featuring a week of lively band marches, colourful street decorations, and dazzling fireworks displays. The highlight is a grand procession on the main day, where a statue of the saint takes centre stage, drawing crowds of devout locals and visitors alike. In September, Sliema comes alive with its own festa to honour St Gregory the Great at St Gregory Church. If you're planning to attend, be prepared for large crowds and limited parking, so it’s wise to arrive early and use public transport if possible.
