The square in front of the Mġarr parish church was not big enough for hundreds of people who today enjoyed Festa Frawli, the annual strawberries festival.

Mġarr local council and the Kummissjoni Lejla Mġarrija scheduled the event to to open at 11.30 a.m. but the square was already jam packed at 9.30 a.m.

The families with children, couples, senior citizens and tourists who crowded the square were offered food and drink from several stalls and non-stop entertainment.

Beside the expected fresh strawberries, the delicacies on sale included treats such as tarts, ravioli, millefolie, cannoli, ice cream, sorbet, pancakes, waffles, soup, as well as strawberries in balsamic vinegar. All this could be washed down with some refreshing wine made from the fruit.
