Village festas: honouring their parish patron saint. around 95 festi are held in Malta and 10 in Gozo. The key parts of a Maltese village festa are religious processions, band marches, community gatherings, fireworks and traditionally sweets (and nowadays fast food). Your best bet is to keep an eye on the local parish’s Facebook page (Yes, you read that correctly) around two weeks before the day of the festa.

You do't have to go but you might have fireworks if you're staying nearby or see decorations
