Regatta Races

Hello again,

As I said, I will be promoting activities in Malta. Tomorrow there will be the regatta race. The Regatta is a typical Maltese Sport because in this event held in September to commemorate the Great Siege Victory of 1565 and it is held on the 31 st March - Freedom Day. Typical Maltese boats like frejgatini, kajjikki and dghajjes take part. The Regatta is the main event for the traditional Maltese boat ( id-dghajsa ). These colourful boat races are popular with the Maltese, especially in the Three Cities of Cottonera, Marsa,Kalkara and Marsamxett, the districts which compete in this Regatta.

Hope that you will attend and have fun !
