Initiate the celebrations with a standard Vodka WooWoo, the perfect concoction to get the ball rolling. The big red drink may not be beer but it is an absolute Big G’s must.

Next, head over to Quenchers for a beer marathon. Spend the afternoon there, sipping on a variety of brews, each telling a story of craftsmanship and tradition. It’s an ideal spot to soak in the atmosphere and enjoy the company of friends.

Amidst the celebrations, don’t forget to capture the moment with a squad selfie, everyone decked out in green, embodying the spirit of St. Patrick’s Day. It’s a snapshot of joy, friendship, and celebration that you’ll cherish.

As the evening progresses, take a story of your favourite DJ dropping bangers, capturing the essence of the night’s exhilaration. It’s these moments that amplify the festive vibe, creating memories that resonate.

Lastly, with a day packed full of festivities, consider taking Monday off. It’s a wise move to ensure you have time to recuperate and reflect on the wonderful experiences of St. Patrick’s Day.

Celebrate responsibly and immerse yourself in the joyous traditions and modern twists that make St. Patrick’s Day unforgettable.

In Valletta, Malta, Salvu Mallia’s Facebook proposition to replace the Queen Victoria monument with a statue honouring Daphne Caruana Galizia has ignited a spirited debate. Mallia’s call for recognition of Caruana Galizia’s contributions has garnered support, but also stirred dissent.

The proposal emerges amidst the recent installation of a temporary monument featuring an empty chair, overshadowing Queen Victoria’s statue. Mallia’s supporters argue that Caruana Galizia’s fearless journalism and pursuit of justice warrant commemoration, while critics emphasize the historical significance of the Queen Victoria monument.

This debate underscores broader discussions about representation and the evolving narrative of Malta’s history. Whether Mallia’s proposal materializes or not, it prompts reflection on the values we choose to uphold as a society and the narratives that shape our collective memory.
