traditional religious Feasts In Malta

Monthly List Of All Celebrated Gozo And Malta Feasts

Date Last Updated: 24th July 2021

All feasts in Malta are very popular. You find religious feasts in every village and town both in Malta and Gozo. The history of religion and traditions is very strong among the local population.

The most popular months of the feast days are May to September due to better weather conditions where every weekend there are several feasts at one go.

This page brings you all the villages and churches in Malta with their names, the feast name and the month in which they occur. This list is based on the Village Feasts since there are various villages that change dates of their feast day. For village feasts in Maltese, click here.

Most of the villages are a parish and this is not included in each village description. Those that have a different title name are all included in the list.

If you intend to visit Malta for a holiday this page will help you choose the locations where to go for a village feast. Maltese culture is part of these Maltese feasts. You will be amazed and will want to see more. Do not miss the local fireworks displays.

It is to be said that a few feasts are celebrated without any external festivities. It is good to ask before you decide to go. We indicated those which we know about.

The sources to prepare this information is limited and with the variety of information within makes it difficult to have everything correct. We will be pleased to receive your comments to improve the page. To contact us, click here.

Most villages in Malta have their own parish church, which is run by pastoral care and clerical jurisdiction of a parish priest and help by more curates. 

Basilica

Basilica is a grand name given to a church with its riches and treasures, and important historical values, and the place of worship.  A basilica stands out as one of the prestigious centre of active and pastoral liturgy.  The designation as a basilica shows a special link with the pope.

Collegiate

A collegiate as they say or another word for it is similar to a cathedral.  This church is a daily office of worship run by doctrine belief.

Cathedral

A Cathedral which is found in every district in the world is the chief church.  It is a Christian church and accommodates the seat of a bishop, which serves as the central church.

Co-Cathedral

A co-cathedral is a cathedral church and shares the duties of being a bishop’s seat. Usually found in another city.
