Victoria International Arts Festival is in honor of Mr Joseph Vella. This year, they are celebrating a milestone since it was first formalised as a festival twenty-five years ago. Mr. Joseph Vella and his team had for years been organising a few events leading up to one of Gozo’s major feasts, that of St George in Victoria. It dawned on this group of people that, actually, this could be set up and formalised as a Festival that would give a robust cultural platform culminating in the celebrations surrounding the feast of St George. Hence was born the Victoria International Arts Festival, a leading festival of its kind on the Maltese islands, dubbed ‘a quiet revolution’ and ‘the Gozo miracle’, among other brands.
