This week ends on the eve of one of Malta’s most prestigious public holidays – the feast of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary (in Maltese ‘Santa Maria’).  Traditional festivities take place in many towns and villages all around the island, however, the most famous celebration is probably held in Mosta due to the renowned dome that this city boasts of.  Many foreigners, including a good number of our students, flock to one of these places to get a real taste of Malta.

The island also has a lot to offer even to those who might not be too keen on such traditional celebrations.  One example is the ‘Creamfields Festival’ which is an open-air festival and is always held on the 15^th of August.   This year the event will host over 60 DJs and live acts set over a main stage as well as three dance arenas.

So for those of you who are going to be in Malta this weekend, I’m sure that the next few days are going to be packed with activities!  Feel free to upload any pictures of your around-Malta experiences on our facebook profile!

Have a great weekend!
