Ħamrun gets a taste of chocolate
A life-size dining room complete with crockery, chairs and chandeliers – all made of chocolate – will be among the tasty attractions during a Ħamrun festival on Saturday.
The second edition of the Chocolate Festival will also feature various cocoa-made sculptures, paintings and even cocktails as well as a three metre-high model of the Ħamrun parish church.
The festival, organised by the local council, will take place in the village’s main streets and will include exhibitions of old chocolate containers. People can leave their cars at the Floriana car park and take a shuttle coach to St Paul’s Square in Ħamrun. Free parking will be available in the parking area of the Maria Regina Lyceum.
The festival starts at 6 p.m.

@Johann Debono, bl-argument tieghk li ghax kien hawn l-imhazen li jahznu l-cocoa ifisser li l-Hamrun ghandu konnessjoni mac-cikkulata. Bl-istess argument allura kull rahal li ghandu imhazen tat-tqiq jista jaghmel festival tal-hobz? dawk li ghandhom imhazen taz-zokkor jistaw jaghmlu festival tal-heli, ghax ma tghidx li ivvintaw xi haga sabiex jiehdu l-flus sabiex jaghmlu festival u xejn aktar. Ma nahsibx li huwa sewwa li wiehed jilghab bl-istorja ta' rahal jew belt twelidu. Il-Hamrun sa fejn naf jiena dejjem kien imsemmi ghal manifattura tal-ghamara, cigaretti, madum tal-art, minerali, u ghagin fost affrijiet ohra. Li kieku sar festival tal-ghagin kont naqbel aktar ghax mal fabrika tal-ghagin hemm stejjer marbuta.

Jista xi hadd jghidilna x'konnessjoni ghanda ic-cukkulata mal-Hamrun peress li hafna mill-festivals li jsiru fl-irhula jkollhom konnesjoni. Sa fejn naf jiena ma hemm ebda rabta bejn ic-cukkulata u l-Hamrun ghajr li hemm diversi dulciera bhal f'kull rahal iehor. Napprezza hafna jekk hemm xi konnesjoni minghandu xi informazzjoni jaqsama maghna u jghidilna fejn sab l-informazzjoni gfhax nixtieq li naghmel ftit ricerka fuq dan is-suggett.
Grazzi.
