About this audio guide
This guide to the Collegiate Church of the Immaculate Conception in Bormla, across the harbour from Valletta, is about the parish's great December party. It follows the eve of the feast, from a queue inside the church to fireworks beyond the city gate, a marching band and the smell of festa food. Stand in the square in front of the main door to hear it.
