Next year's date goes up here as soon as the parish announces it. Festas usually fall on the same weekend each year.

Experience the vibrant atmosphere of a Maltese festa in Rabat, celebrating St Paul (San Pawl) every July. This lively event typically features a week of energetic band marches, dazzling street decorations, and spectacular fireworks, culminating in a grand procession with the statue of St Paul on the main day. It's a wonderful opportunity to immerse yourself in local culture. Practical tip: to avoid the crowds, plan to arrive early on the day of the procession, and consider using public transport as parking can be quite limited.
