This scheme is open to band clubs, voluntary fireworks factories, and Maltese feast decoration associations which have actively participated or will actively participate in a Maltese festa in this current year.
“As a government, we believe that this scheme is an important part of the support being given to organisations promoting local traditions related to the Maltese festa since it will bolster their ability to continue doing their relentless work, even after the hardship endured due to the COVID-19 pandemic,” stated Minister Bonnici.
Band clubs, voluntary fireworks factories, and Maltese feast decoration associations can receive a total of €6000 per cluster between them (€2000 per strand). If an entity has a dual or triple function, then it is entitled to €4000 or €6000, respectively.
“Through this scheme, we are recognising the hardships endured by various voluntary organisations due to the COVID-19 pandemic,” said Arts Council Director Mary Ann Cauchi. Arts Council Malta fully recognises the importance of safeguarding and promoting local traditions as part of our national identity. Moreover, this support scheme will continue to enhance the recognition of the Maltese festa both locally and abroad as part of our intangible cultural heritage.
