The Farsons Beer Festival 2024 is going back to its original location in Ta’ Qali for this year’s edition.
The recently renovated National Park will be home to the festival this year which promises to be another great edition.

The festival offers a vast selection of award-winning beers, such as the Cisk range, the Farsons Classic Brews range, together with leading international brands including Carlsberg, Budweiser, Peroni and Corona, as well as local and international craft and speciality beers. Gluten-free and alcohol-free beers will be available together with an ever-popular range of ciders.
As always, a food court offers a variety of foods and cuisines to complement the selection of beers.

“This year we are happy to be returning to the location where previously the event had been held for a number of years prior to 2022. The Ta’ Qali National Park has been totally renovated and makes a gorgeous setting for the Farsons Beer Festival. We appeal to all our visitors to respect the park by caring for the environment and disposing of their waste responsibly,” said Steve Borg, festival organizer.
Ms Susan Weenink Camilleri, Head of Sales and Marketing at Simonds Farsons Cisk plc, added, “We are very happy to be back at the beautifully renovated National Park. We, together with our suppliers, contractors, partners and performers have been exercising greatest care and attention throughout the set-up process and when dismantling, as well as during the festival itself to ensure we treat this wonderful location with the utmost respect that it deserves. We strongly encourage and appeal to the general public to similarly show the same sense of respect and responsibility whilst enjoying themselves throughout the festival evening.” “The Farsons Beer Festival is a key and highly-anticipated event in the Maltese summer calendar offering a super fun atmosphere and aimed at all the family. We are proud that we continue to offer free entrance despite the significant costs involved in putting up such a festival,” she continued.
“Epic is thrilled to partner once again with this iconic event,” said Karl Galea, Epic’s Chief Marketing Officer. “The Farsons Beer Festival is not just a celebration of great beer, but a showcase of Malta’s vibrant culture and community spirit.
