One of Gozo's most distinctive feasts, celebrating Our Lady of Mount Carmel at the seaside village of Xlendi. Its highlight is the Ġostra — a greased-pole contest where competitors edge along a wooden pole suspended over the bay to grab a flag, a thrilling and often hilarious spectacle that draws big crowds. It suits families, groups and anyone wanting waterfront festa fun. Entry is free.
