Tal-Balzunetta's famous watermelons
Special Feature
The popular 'Marc Tal-Balzunetta'
is well known for the euphoric celebrations especially
from the revellers. One can easily notice that most
revellers wear the same garment colors and hold a
watermelon in their hands while dancing with the tunes
of 'Viva x-Xemx' and 'Ta' Garrew' marches. The
watermelon is filled with a mix of cocktails and it is
years-old tradition only used in Ghajnsielem
specifically for Friday's demonstration march. Ghajnsielem.com has followed
the process of making these famous watermelons just a
few hours before the 2008 band march begins.
