Victoria is preparing to celebrate St George’s feast next Sunday. La Stella Band committee, assisted by volunteers, is organising external festivities leading up to the feast day.
The activities kick off tomorrow evening with traditional horse races along Republic Street, Victoria.
As from Tuesday, there will be four processions with statues of St George, followed by traditional eve-of-festa and feast day marches. Besides La Stella and other Gozitan bands, Santa Katerina band from Żurrieq, Anici and San Ġorġ bands from Qormi, King’s Own band from Valletta, and San Mikiel band from Żabbar will participate.
On Friday, La Stella band, directed by Joseph Vella, will be accompanied by Teatru Astra’s Piccole Stelle choir, directed by Mariella Spiteri Cefai.
