Experience a beloved village feast in Qawra
قراءة كل التفاصيل
Qawra, part of the St Paul's Bay area, marks the feast of St Maximilian Kolbe on Saturday 8 August. A procession opens the day, with the saint's statue carried through streets decorated with banners, lights and flowers, led by a local brass band.
Through the day, street stalls sell traditional Maltese food and families gather in the public squares as the celebration builds. Fireworks — ground-level petards and aerial displays — light the sky over Qawra after dark, closing out a feast that follows the pattern of Malta's parish festas.
