Malta is known for its nightlife, in summer and winter, local and international DJs play in several clubs. There are cultural events, from permanent theatre to street theatre and concerts all year round. Cultural events in Malta also include village festivals. The holiday season in Malta includes a series of long weekends, starting in late May and throughout June, July, August and September. In this period, there is hardly a weekend when a city or village does not celebrate the feast of its patron saint or other saints revered in different churches.
During the holidays, banners, statues raised on decorated wooden columns, festoons and other ornaments richly decorate the main streets of the localities. Town or village dwellers decorate their balconies with lights and festoons, some blue and some red, depending on the party.
The celebration of a typical Maltese holiday lasts 3 days or more and you can participate freely. Traditional and fast-food stands compete with each other to sell their wares to visitors. Typical products are Maltese nougat and other sweets. The houses are traditionally adorned with ornaments and decorations, which can be glimpsed through the open doors and windows. It is not uncommon to be invited by local families to come in for a closer look.
