The 2025 edition of the Wirja Agrarja u ta’ Artigjanat, held last weekend in the heart of Nadur, has been hailed as a resounding success.
The Nadur Local Council said that this vibrant event brought together the community for two days of celebration, showcasing the very best of Gozo’s agricultural heritage, artisan crafts, and cultural traditions.
A highlight of the weekend was the remarkable achievement by Grech’s Bakery, which set a new national record for Malta’s largest ftira. This feat drew crowds and celebrated the enduring tradition of Maltese baking.
This year’s edition featured a diverse array of attractions, including stalls of local agricultural produce, handmade crafts and artisan products, traditional Maltese foods, live demonstrations of crafts, cultural performances, and exhibitions highlighting local heritage and history. These offerings provided visitors with a unique opportunity to experience the richness of Nadur’s rural and artistic life.
The fair was made possible thanks to the generous support of our primary sponsors: Nadur Local Council, the Gozo Regional Council, the Cultural Heritage Directorate – Ministry for Gozo and Planning and Grech’s Bakery. The Nadur Local council said that “their commitment to fostering local culture and tradition was instrumental in the event’s success.”
The Council also extended its heartfelt gratitude to the many volunteers and participants whose dedication and hard work made this event possible. “Their enthusiasm and commitment continue to be the driving force behind the fair’s ongoing success,” it said.
The Nadur Local Council concluded by saying that, “we look forward to welcoming everyone again next year for another celebration of Nadur’s agricultural and artisanal excellence.”
