It lasts three days or longer. On any one of these evenings, you are bound to see hundreds of people in festive mood. Traditional and fast food stands vie with each other to sell their wares to the crowds of merry-makers. Typical products are Maltese type nougat and other sweet delicacies. Chruch, houses are looking their absolute best, often benefitting from a fresh coat of paint a few weeks before, in preparation for the feast.
