Gharghur is one of the smallest and oldest towns of Malta. Gharghur is situated on a hilltop between two valleys in the North-East of Malta with a population of 2,389 (Nov 2005). There is documented reference of Gharghur as far back as 1419, in the lists of the Dejma, which was a Militia that guarded the locals from pirate attacks.

The main event of the year is the village festa which is celebrated on the 24th (if this turns out to be a Sunday) or the last Sunday of August. The statue of the saint is carried shoulder high along the illuminated streets of the village accompanied by musical bands. A display of colourful fireworks, ends the village festival.
