The Vittoriosa local council has informed the general public that all activities scheduled for tonight as part of Birgu Fest 2018 are cancelled due to bad weather.

Last Friday's Birgu Fest events have been cancelled due to the bad weather.

The popular Birgu by Candlelight was planned for this evening. Residents of Vittoriosa were to place candles in the narrow streets of the historic town, creating a unique atmosphere.

Updates are regularly posted on the event's Facebook page.
