Local feasts could hardly get more colourful than this, as multi-coloured confetti and strips of paper were fired from 100 small cannons by Żgħażagħ Rabtin Pawlini opposite the Rabat parish church yesterday at noon. The display is similar to what happens during the feast of St Paul at Palazzolo Acreide in Sicily, but in Rabat the firing of confetti is also synchronised to music and aerial fireworks.
