St John the Baptist Festival

Dajla celebrates its patron saint at the St John the Baptist Festival. This year the locals and their guests can take part in a number of events staged to celebrate St John the Baptist day. The event will feature a range of culture, sports and recreation, music and other animation content, all accompanied with great food offered by your hosts in Dajla. You'll be welcomed with fresh grilled sardines and a tasty barbeque, all with a selection of the wonderful wines Dajla's wine makers are famed for.

During the day, sports games for children and adults, tournaments in bocce, beach volleyball and briscola & tresette card games will take place. Evening programmes will bring a rich open-air music programme, a classical music concert and a choir meeting at the parish church of St John the Baptist where a holy Mass will be held. This two-day event begins with a traditional bonfire, creating a unique atmosphere of intimacy and happiness.

Dajla's St John the Baptist Festival is an opportunity to experience the traditional warmth and hospitality of the locals who make the effort every year to ensure that once you've been there, you'll keep coming back!
