The Feast of St Dominic (Il-Festa ta’ San Duminku) is one of Birgu’s most cherished religious and cultural celebrations, held annually on the last Sunday of August. The historic streets of Vittoriosa come alive with colourful decorations, illuminated churches, traditional band marches, fireworks and lively festivities. The highlight is the solemn procession carrying the statue of St Dominic through the streets, accompanied by devotees, music and prayers. Rooted in centuries of Dominican tradition, the feast brings together residents and visitors in a vibrant celebration of faith, community spirit and Malta’s rich cultural heritage.
