Saints and Sky-Rockets
If your visit coincides with a local celebration, prepare for a sensory explosion of colour, music and the thunderous sounds of tradition.
If you see streets lined with ornate banners and hear bells ringing, you’ve walked into a village festa. Join the locals for music and street food, but don’t be startled by the “petards”—loud, daytime fireworks that are a proud and thunderous Maltese tradition.
