Birgufest will be going ahead as planned this evening, Vittoriosa local council said this afternoon.

The event had been in doubt because of the rain.

As in past editions, the festival will feature exhibitions, re-enactments, parades and shows to highlight the history of the dockyard town.

The residents this evening also hope to be able to light as many as 15,000 candles in the streets, the bastions and their homes, putting Vittoriosa in the Guinness Book of Records.

The full programme can be found on http://birgu.gov.mt/sites/default/files/BIRGUFEST%202010%20-%20English.pdf
