‘Tistennix il-bajtra taqa’ f’ħalqek’ (Don’t wait for the fig to fall into your mouth) is a Maltese saying which encourages the listener to act quickly and decisively. This is precisely what we encourage when considering the Fig Festival happening in Xagħra, Gozo on the 21st of June at 7pm!
Victory Square will be packed with all things figs, including various dishes containing the sweet summer fruit, as well as musical entertainment for the whole family to enjoy.
Headlining this year, all the way from the UK, will be the ultimate tribute band to The Police, bringing the legendary sound of Sting and the gang to Gozo! They'll be supported by the talented John Cash from Cash & Band in a night of unforgettable live music - and figs!
So mark the date down on your calendar and make your way to the hilltop village of Xagħra for a night of fruit and fun - tistennix il-bajtra taqa’ f’ħalqek!
What’s your favourite fig-filled dish?
