This weekend, head to Triq St Marija in Ħal-Tarxien, as it will be transformed into a vibrant festive candyland. It’s the perfect way to decompress after a long week: The festival will have an abundance of dessert options and candy booths with chocolate, ice cream, classic sweets, pastries, and all kinds of other sugary treats! However, there will be more than just candy to entertain visitors at the festivals, as the Tarxien Local Council has prepared a variety of entertainment. 

Attendees can expect attractions made out of sweets and chocolate, courtesy of Primavera Caterers – these ones are probably best enjoyed visually. There will also be some stunning Christmas exhibitions, as well as a Christmas Market, where you can find handmade goods and possibly get a headstart on your Christmas shopping. Moreover, visitors will get to witness the lighting of the Christmas lights along the streets of Ħal-Tarxien. It makes for a gorgeous site, one that is not to be missed. Last but not least, there will be several singing and dancing performances creating a lively atmosphere throughout the festival, with Versatile Band taking the stage from 9.30 pm onwards.
