The Village Festa Tour

Between June and September every village in Malta holds its main event of the year-the village festa. It is a mixture of folklore and religion and is held in honour of the patron saint of the village. This tour includes a guided explanation of the parish church which is especially decorated for this annual event. Then we offer you to match the climax of this festa, when the statue of the patron saint, which has been carried in procession during the evening will be brought back to the church. The statue is accompanied by the village band while aerial fireworks are let off, thus bringing to an end to the week-long festivities. The village streets are decorated with banners, fairy lights and statues. This is also a good opportunity to meet and mix with the villagers celebrating the festa. It is an event not to be missed.
