The Council will combine folkloristic and traditional elements with contemporary ones to create more activity in the Xaghra main square which is undoubtedly one of the busiest squares in Gozo.
A Maltese traditional dinner will be held on Friday, the 29th of July from 8.30pm onwards. This dinner will be accompanied by folk music and dance. All proceedings from this activity will go for the aid of the titular feast of the Nativity of Our Lady. The Council will provide a bouncy castle service for children to entertain themselves. Tickets for this dinner can be obtained from the Fund Raising Committee by not later than Wednesday, the 27th of July.
On Saturday the 30th of July 2011, from 7.30pm onwards, a series of activities will be held in Victory Square. The programme begins with a special celebration of Holy Mass at the Collegiate Basilica of the Nativity of Our Lady. Mass will be accompanied by traditional Maltese ghana. At 8.30pm there will be the inauguration of an exhibition of military cars along Maria Bambina Street and 8th September Avenue and an exhibition of local crafts (including painting, sculpture, airbrush painting etc).
The evening opens with a re-enactment by the Xaghra Historical Re-enactment Group. At the Xaghra Basilica, there will be musical accompaniment on the church organ and a guided tour explaining the interior beauty of the Sanctuary. On the main stage in Victory Square, there will be a performance show by local singer Glenn Vella, the winner of the Malta Eurosong 2011 followed by a musical concert by the Australian rock band ‘Rocatac.’ The activity comes to an end with a grand concert by the popular local ‘Cash & Band,’ The Xaghra main square will be decorated with original light effects for this occasion.
