                          About Public Holidays in Malta

                          Malta's Freedom Day (March 31) marks the 1979 departure of the last British military forces, distinct from Independence Day (September 21, 1964) fifteen years earlier - one of the more unusual two-stage decolonization timelines covered on this site. Victory Day (September 8) commemorates the end of a 1565 siege by the Ottoman Empire, one of the oldest historical events marked by any holiday on this list.

                          Which holidays in Malta change date each year?
