Another weekend, another fabulous Maltese festa! Over the weekend, the St Julian’s feast (celebrating none other than St Julian) was held in the bustling town. Many flocked the streets to cheer, drink beer and watch the festivities, which were pretty spectacular. Here are eight shots showing we truly know how to have a good time!

1. Locals attempted the famous gostra sport in the hopes of being crowned king (but all most of them got was a big splash!)
