Concept
Witness unique aspects of the Maltese folklore through dance, music and crafts. Entertain your clients with a unique night filled with food, live music, fireworks and much more.
Description
Work starts a long time before the clients even arrive at the venue. The venue, that can vary from a conference hall for a tented farmhouse in one of Malta's traditional villages, is adorned with fire bowls, light festoon and streamers and festa banners around the entrance and inside the venue itself.
The venue is further set up to reflect even more the traditional Maltese life. During the evening guests can appreciate works-in-progress and a display of the end product of various Maltes artifacts, such as lace (bizzilla), the Maltese Curtain (hasira), limestone (franka) and pottery (fuhhar). Watching these talented people carving their way through soft limestone, preparing table cloths made of lace, and putting up a display of earthenware and decorative ceramics, is an experience not to be missed
Upon arrival at the venue, guests are greeted by three couples of folk characters who perform the traditional "Ribbon Welcome", followed by the lively sounds of a typical village brass band as soon as they enter the welcome drink area.
Once all guests have been gathered, the folk dancers perform a ten-minute show, ending by inviting some of the less shy guests on stage, to join in the last dance routine.
Throughout dinner, a duo of musicians (guitar and mandolin) hop from table to table, keeping the spirits high in line with the theme of the event. So does the caricature artist, who brings one's personality from his/her own signature.
Meanwhile, craft stations are active in a live display of local craftsmanship. So are the food vendors, with a display of traditional bites, such as the qubbajt (nougat), mqaret (deep fried pastry filled with dates), and karamelli (carob sweets). These traditional snacks will surely tempt many for a bite. Guests are invited to purchase any of these local products as a remembrance of their Maltese Festa Night or to take home as a souvenir of their great stay in the Maltese Islands.
After tables are cleared from the main course, the live band hits the first dance tune of its evergreen melodies repertoire.
The night is closed by a pyrotechnic-image of their company's logo and/or message, which fires up as guests exit the hall on their way out of the venue.
