Malta Edition
World Shared Festival Table Day leads today's complete edition for Malta.
Daily Edition
Official observances, world days, local context, and everyday celebrations for people who need something worth reading, sharing, or talking about today.
A day for the food, music, cleaning, decorating, travel, and welcome that turn an ordinary date into a gathering.
The feast of St Julian is celebrated in the town of St Julian's, one of the most cosmopolitan towns in Malta. St Julian's is known for its nightlife, and the feast is celebrated with fireworks, processions, and the traditional meal of rabbit stew. The contrast between the ancient festa and the modern nightlife is part of the charm of Malta, where the traditional and the modern exist side by side. The feast of St Julian is also known for the "naha" (the rivalry between the two band clubs of the town), and the competition between the two clubs is so fierce that the fireworks displays are held on separate nights.
A day for bakeries, kitchens, markets, ovens, and the aroma that can turn a street corner into a memory.
A day for clearing the surface, finding the note, opening the notebook, and giving the workday a better beginning.
You witness the hamadryas baboon and the African wild ass in Eritrea's varied landscapes. You observe that Eritreans primarily keep goats, camels, dogs, and chickens in their communities. ACADA celebrates the world's pets, and helps assure better care.
You enjoy Rhum Arrange (spiced rum infusions) and the volcanic terroir that produces Reunion's distinctive cane sugars and Taboo brand products. You recognize how these spirits and ingredients represent French colonial history merged with Indian Ocean island culture and local entrepreneurship.
