What's On?

The Gostra is held on the first Sunday of September. Once a very popular summer event in many fishing villages, it has survived only in Xlendi.

This traditional sport consists of competitors climbing (running) a greased pole projecting from a headland onto the sea to grasp a flag at its end. Both winners and losers end up in the sea.

There are several other traditional sports activities on the same Sunday that coincide with the celebration of the village festa.
