Every town and village in Malta has a Band Club, marching band clubs that participate in their local village festa and other functions. They are usually brass bands with woodwind instruments and some percussion. They attract many followers who attend their clubs which have large halls for meeting and concerts, some playing stations like snooker and darts as well a card-playing. And of course a bar which attracts many people to socialize...and drink. Then there is the façade which is always an attraction in itself, and is decorated profusely during village feast in the summer months, and during the Christmas season, as you can see from these two photos of the local Band Clubs in Naxxar. The first one is the Victory Club and the second one is the Peace Club, and they obviously compete against each other as to who will decorate the best.
