The Farsons Beer Festival stands out as one of Malta’s most anticipated summer celebrations and the largest music event on the island. Spanning over ten nights, this outdoor festival is a grand showcase of the best beer, local music, and entertainment Malta has to offer. The Farsons Beer Festival will be taking place in Ta ‘Qali National Park from the 25th July until the 03rd August 2024.
A Long-standing Tradition Now in its 42nd edition, the Farsons Beer Festival has been and will always be one of the most awaited annual events in the summer calendar. Each night, the festival draws an impressive crowd, averaging between 8,000 and 10,000 attendees, a consistent turnout that underscores the event’s popularity.
A Beer Lover’s Paradise The festival provides a unique opportunity for visitors to explore an extensive variety of over 30 beers.
