If you’re in Malta this week, you’ve landed right in the heart of one of the island’s biggest summer traditions: The Farsons Beer Festival. Held at Ta’ Qali National Park, the festival has been drawing in thousands of locals and visitors with its laid-back atmosphere, live music across multiple stages, and a strong showing of Malta’s own beer and food scene.

Now well underway, the festival is building up to its final night this Saturday, and it’s shaping up to be truly memorable. Headlining the closing night is one of Malta’s most talked-about names: Miriana Conte. She recently performed at London Pride 2025, taking the stage at both Trafalgar Square and Leicester Square as part of the Pride celebrations. Miriana also represented Malta at Eurovision 2025 with her song ‘SERVING’, finishing 17th in the Grand Final. 

The local songstress has steadily built a name for herself in the local pop and soul scene. With influences that range from classic ballads to modern R&B, she brings power and personality to every performance. Her recent international appearance has only fuelled her growing reputation, and there’s a lot of buzz around what she’ll bring to the Farsons stage.

Supporting Miriana, be sure to catch a stellar set from Aidan. He has become one of the island’s top pop performers in recent years. Known for hits like ‘Ritmu’ and ‘Naħseb Fik’, his sound brings together Maltese and English lyrics with a slick, radio-ready style that’s made him a regular fixture on local charts and a fan favourite during Eurovision national selections. His live shows are always high-energy, with tight choreography, colourful visuals, and strong crowd connection, expect a polished set designed to get everyone on their feet. Meanwhile, if pop isn’t your cup of tea, head over to the popular Rock Stage and catch Fakawi, Vinyl Paradise and Explicit. 

Saturday really will be a brilliant celebration of Maltese music talent at one of the country’s best-loved summer festivals. Add to that the food stalls serving up everything from traditional ftira to grilled favourites, and of course plenty of locally brewed beer, and you’ve got a brilliant summer night out.

Entry is free, and the atmosphere is friendly, festive and very Maltese. If you’re visiting, this is a chance to experience something truly local. Farsons Beer Festival wraps up Saturday, don’t miss it.
