MALTA - Dingli: Agriculture & Traditions Festival 2011
We visited Dingli Village for its annual Agriculture and Traditions Festival which was held on Sunday, May 15 and recorded some video footage.
The beautiful event was orgnasided by the Dingli Local Council.The festival was held on Dingli Cliffs near its cliffside chappel dedicated to St Magdelene. The chapel existed in mid 1600. The present one was rebuilt onto the original one. A triditional mass held at the chapel during the festival.This video contains some activities that we had attended to. It was a fun filled day with interesting and educational activities.
The activities begun from 7.00am till 6.00pm. The proposed event/festival showcased what this village has to offer in terms of agriculture and traditions.
Exhibition of sheep and goats - traditional way of sheep & goats milking, sheep shearing, demonstration of fresh Maltese cheeselets making, re-enactment of the pre war picnic performed by the Ghaqda Talent Dingli, homemade wine competition, eco tours, pony rides, falcons displays, homemade wine competition, displays of fruit & vegetables, local crafts, traditional Maltese food, traditional farm/wine tools, traditional Maltese games and Dingli Scouts Band March amongst all. The sound system was very professional engineered and arranged for such open-air festival. The technicians had done a wonderful work on it.
Brief info about Dingli:
Dingli (or Had-Dingli) is a village on the west coast of Malta, with a population of 3,326 persons (Nov 2005), 13 kilometers from the capital Valletta and two kilometers from the nearest city, Rabat.
The village lies on a plateau some 250 metres above sea level, which is the highest point of Malta. The area provides not only open sea views over the tiny, uninhabited isle of Filfla, but also an excellent vantage point over Malta.
From the cliffs there are views inland of nearby Buskett Gardens and Verdala Palace. The countryside here is ideal for walking.
Maltese Music performed by Mark & Denise Vella of Zabbar Village, Malta.
*A note of thanks to Mark & Denise for given us the permission to use their beautiful music for this video.
