Experience the vibrant Maltese festa, a delightful week-long celebration featuring lively band marches, elaborately decorated streets, and magnificent fireworks. Mdina’s Mnarja, dedicated to St Peter and St Paul, culminates in a grand procession with the statue of the saints paraded through the village. This colourful event is a fantastic way to immerse yourself in local culture. A practical tip: expect large crowds, particularly on the main day, so consider arriving early to secure parking. Late afternoon offers the best atmosphere, as festivities begin to ramp up before nightfall.
