Village feasts, commonly known as festi, are a staple of Maltese summers. While they’re technically celebrated throughout the year, the majority of festi take place during the summer months.
People across the Maltese Islands gather in their respective villages to celebrate their patron saint, enjoy some traditional food, listen to the local banda, and watch the fireworks.
With that being said, here are all the village feasts taking place in Malta and Gozo next month:
