This year’s St Patrick’s festivities in St Julian’s have once again attracted thousands of revellers in what has become an established yearly tradition.

Today’s celebrations, like every year’s did not come without controversy.
The Sliema Local Council issued a statement on its concerns over what they called significant traffic disruptions affecting the locality due to uncoordinated diversions.
The local council said it was not consulted by either the St Julian’s Local Council or police station regarding the decision to divert traffic through Sliema.
"This lack of communication is causing severe congestion and unnecessary inconvenience for our residents and businesses, especially given that many roads in Sliema are currently closed due to ongoing works by Infrastructure Malta and Enemalta."
