Summer Feasts in Gozo
Are you travelling to Gozo in summer? Feasts are a unique way to experience local traditions, religious celebrations and a festive way of life eased by the long and warm summer days. Feasts are about patron saints leading sombre processions, beautifully decorated churches and lights, sounds and fireworks.
