Gharb Day Celebrations will be spread over three days. On Friday, 28 August a welcome dinner serving local cuisine will be held at Pjazza Zjara tal-Madonna with the participation of the Gharb community and guests from the invited towns.

The aim of this activity is to engage all citizens from each invited town and have them feel at ease and welcomed.

The entertainment will feature folk singing by the Ghaqda Folkloristika tal-Qiegha.
