The Feast of St Helen in Birkirkara, one of Malta's grand traditional village festas, with band marches, lavishly decorated streets, fireworks and church celebrations centred on St Helen's Basilica. It is loud, festive and deeply local, best experienced in the evenings as the town fills with crowds. Good for families and visitors wanting authentic Maltese festa atmosphere.
