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

A Maltese festa is a vibrant celebration that typically lasts a week, filled with band marches, stunning street decorations, and awe-inspiring fireworks. The highlight is usually a grand procession on the main day, featuring a statue of the saint at its heart. In Munxar, the village comes alive in September as locals honour St Paul's Shipwreck. If planning to attend, it's wise to arrive early; parking can be a challenge closer to the festivities, and crowds tend to swell as the celebrations peak.
