The feast of St Dominic brings a traditional village festa to the heart of Valletta, centred on the Basilica of St Dominic and Porto Salvo. Decorated streets, brass-band marches, church celebrations and fireworks fill the capital around 1 August. Free and open to all, it's an easy way for visitors to catch authentic Maltese festa culture without leaving the city.
