Read full details
San Lawrenz village marks the feast of its patron saint, St Lawrence, on Sunday 9 and Monday 10 August 2026, one of the summer festa dates on Gozo's calendar. The parish church anchors the two days, with a procession carrying the saint's statue through the village streets, accompanied by a local band club.
Celebrations follow the pattern of a Gozitan village festa: church services and prayer alongside street decorations, gathering crowds and an evening atmosphere that draws both residents and visitors from other parts of the island. Entry to the feast and its public celebrations is free.
The two-day format - Sunday as the main day, Monday as a continuation - is typical of smaller Gozo parishes rather than the larger multi-day feasts held in bigger towns.
What to expect
A traditional Maltese village feast centred on St. Lawrence, featuring processions, spiritual observances, music, and community gathering.
