This is a three-day manifestation of Maltese folk singing (M. Ghana).

Maltese folk singing has various genres e.g. ‘Ghana tal-Fatt', whereby the singer recounts a story in verses that relate to a tragic past event. Another genre is ‘Ghana spirtu pront': two singers hit out at each other with sharp and witty retorts as one sings out and the other responds with spontaneously thought out lyrics; and 'Ghana fl-gholi' wherein the stanzas are sung in an extremely high note /pitch remotely similar to a flamenco folk song - this singing is also known as ala Bormliza.

A variety of foreign folk singers and musicians hailing from various countries in the Mediterranean also participate in this festival. Throughout the three days of the festival, there will also be a series of crafts demonstrations on various stands.
