Festa Tonn! Marsaskala to host first-ever festival celebrating Malta’s tuna industry
Calling all seafood lovers!

Francesca Vella

Something fishy is coming to Marsaskala! The seaside town will host the first edition of Festa Tonn, a brand-new festival dedicated to Malta’s fishing heritage, with a special focus on the tuna industry.

Taking place on Saturday 7th June along Triq ix-Xatt, this one-day celebration will bring together locals, visitors, and the fisheries sector for a fun and informative event that honours the island’s deep-rooted relationship with the sea.

From 11:00am onwards, the Marsaskala waterfront will come alive with tuna-themed food stalls offering mouth-watering dishes that you can enjoy with the accompaniment of live music.

If you’d like to learn more about fishing, wander around the educational stands spotlighting sustainable fishing practices and Malta’s maritime legacy, while the little ones enjoy themselves in the kids’ area. Feel like you know enough to off your fishing skills? Join the fishing competition!

Bring along your seafood-loving friends and get ready for some fishy fun!
