The story

Farsons Beer Festival in Ta' Qali

The Farsons Beer Festival is a ten-day outdoor event at Ta' Qali National Park, its 2026 edition running from 23 July to 1 August as the 42nd staging, organised by Malta's Farsons brewery. Multiple stages including a Main Stage, Rock Stage and Casa Electronica run alongside a dedicated Craft Beer Area, with free entry and the local Cisk lager among the beers on offer.

Farsons has been part of Maltese daily life for generations, its Cisk lager so thoroughly embedded in local drinking culture that ordering one barely requires specifying a brand at all in many bars across the islands.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

Reaching a 42nd edition makes this one of the longest-running annual festivals in Malta, giving it a deeply embedded place in the island's summer calendar that newer beer or music events cannot match

02

The mystery stays covered

Running for ten consecutive days rather than a single weekend, with free entry throughout, also gives it an unusually long window for both locals and visitors to attend multiple nights, sampling different stages and different beer selections across the run rather than compressing everything into one event
