Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Animal Rights Anton Refalo announced the details of the second edition of ‘Ghad-Dell tal-Akwadott’ which will be held on Saturday, the 16th of August, from 7pm onwards, on Triq San Niklaw in Kercem.
The Minister said that, “This is not only an entertainment activity but will serve as a platform to bring together the local community and raise more awareness about the agricultural sector, food production and our traditional heritage.”
The event is being organised jointly by the Ministry for Agriculture, Fisheries and Animal Rights and the Kercem Local Council and entry to the event is free. The activity will include games for children, traditional food and drinks, Maltese folk songs and folklore, as well as exhibitions of antique machines and traditional crafts, all of which recall the agrarian and cultural history of the locality and our country.
The Mayor of Kercem Mario Azzopardi expressed his pleasure that Kercem will be hosting another edition of this activity. “This event is growing from year to year and is attracting families from all over Gozo and Malta. We thank the Ministry for its continuous support and all the workers who are contributing to making ‘Ghad-Dell tal-Akwadott’ a successful activity.”
Minister Anton Refalo stressed that, “These types of initiatives are crucial for us to continue strengthening the connection between the community and the agricultural sector and keeping our identity alive as a people.”
He concluded by inviting the entire public to attend this activity, and thanked the Kercem Local Council, the Agriculture Directorate, as well as all the volunteers and organisations involved.
