Two of Valletta's streets are coming alive this weekend with street painting, music and fire dancing. The aim is to encourage people to rediscover the city's outdoor charm.

The fifth edition of Strada Wine, Food and Art Festival - which started yesterday and runs until tomorrow from 7.30 p.m. - promises to live up to the success of previous editions and even offer more.

Access is free.

Yesterday, entertainment was provided by singer Kristina Casolani and percussionist Renzo Spiteri. Today, the Ben and Phil duo will be performing a combination of vocals, guitar and cello while Pete and Papps will be performing on tomorrow.
