In Malta, a festa is a lively celebration dedicated to a patron saint, marked by a week of vibrant band marches, stunning street decorations, and spectacular fireworks. Ghaxaq's festa of St Joseph transforms the village into a festive haven each June. The highlight is the grand procession featuring the statue of St Joseph paraded through the streets, often accompanied by spirited locals. If you're planning to attend, arrive early—parking can be tricky, and the crowds build quickly on the main day. Enjoy the atmosphere and local delicacies as the village comes alive!
