This Sunday morning, the village of San Lawrenz in Gozo was the venue for a new type of event for the island – Swejjaq f' San Lawrenz, Performance Art – organised by the Local Council.
Swejjaq is the Maltese word meaning a small market, and this morning the main village square was transformed with stands and tents into a typical small Sunday morning market, and it proved to be a great success.
Visitors to the village were able to purchase local crops, traditional Maltese food and other artisan hand made products and local lace.
Entertainment was also provided, with folk dancing, music by Ta' Seguna Folk band using traditional musical instruments and a concert by Gozitan choir Schola Cantorum Jubilate.
Other activities available included organised tours around the church, a vintage car show and activities for children.
The San Lawrenz Local Council said it is hoped that this Sunday morning fair will be the first of many to come in the future.
