For all those motorsport fans, this year’s event will feature static car displays, drifting races and also an off-roading show. The static display will feature local high-end cars as well as old trucks and old traditional Maltese buses. On the other hand, the drifting races and the off-roading display will feature two very interesting different scenarios where professional drivers will show off their skills in a controlled environment.
The Sanctuary of Our Lady of Mellieħa, which is over two thousand years old, will be open to the public and will be hosting choral concerts in such a sacred environment. The World War II Shelters will be open, where a very interesting exhibition will be held and guided tours will be offered to all visitors.

The main roads will be set up with tables and chairs al fresco for their patrons to enjoy these lovely nights without missing on the entertainment which will be offered.
Everyone is invited to attend for this annual event in Mellieħa during these four nights. During these four nights Mellieħa will be transformed into one big celebration for all the family, where Mellieħa will showcase its best elements for one and all.
