Attard

On 15th August, Attard comes alive for the Feast of the Assumption, locally known as il-Festa ta’ Santa Marija or l-Assunta. It shares this major national celebration with six other parishes. Attard’s festivities tend to be smaller and more intimate, offering a charming experience away from the packed out crowds elsewhere. Here you can enjoy religious processions, lively band marches, and dazzling aerial fireworks lighting up the skies. Food stalls add to the atmosphere, serving local treats like nougat and qubbajt (a traditional Maltese nougat wrapped in delicate wafer paper), perfect for savoring the festa spirit in a more

relaxed setting.
