Major attractions for this year include an enlarged bakery with functional oven, new structures at market area and the Inn where visitors can go on the roof terrace to enjoy the panoramic views of Ghajnsielem and Ta' Passi fields. Fresh water spring completed with a mill will be flowing around these structures through a small river to enhance the atmosphere. Over 10,000 litres of water will be used to create this impressive effect. You can also enter inside the carpenter's house and watch the father at work with his wife cooking and children playing around (...or sleeping).

Each house is animated a family, played by actors, to remind us that the story of Christmas revolves around a family. Over 150 actors and 25 ushers are needed for the animation to run smoothly.
