Feasts in different locations around Malta and Gozo are one of the highlights of a summer on the islands, with an average of two or three happening each week. Yup, we’re big on the celebrations. This week St Dominic, Christ the Saviour and St Lawrence in Valletta, Lija and Birgu respectively were or have started their festa celebrations. Here are some awesome shots from this week.
