Feast of St Joseph – Rabat

The Feast of St Joseph is one of Rabat's important annual religious celebrations and a wonderful opportunity to experience the atmosphere of a traditional Maltese festa. The main feast day falls on 19 March, with activities taking place during the surrounding period according to the yearly programme. Visitors can expect a lively local setting shaped by religious devotion, decorated streets, community gatherings, band marches and the procession of the statue of St Joseph.

Rabat's historic streets and traditional character make the feast particularly enjoyable for guests who want to discover a more authentic side of Malta. The town is located within easy walking distance of Point De Vue, allowing visitors to leave the guesthouse, enjoy the celebrations and return comfortably without needing a car.

Guests can also combine the event with a walk through Rabat or nearby Mdina, which is located just outside the fortified city walls. Exact timings and activities may vary each year, so checking the official programme before attending is recommended.
