Gozo to commemorate Victory Day during Xaghra ceremony

**Gozo to Mark Victory Day with Ceremony in Xaghra**

The island of Gozo will observe Malta’s Victory Day on Monday with a public ceremony in the village of Xaghra. The event is intended to commemorate the two historic victories that are traditionally celebrated on the national holiday: the successful defence of Malta during the Great Siege of 1565 and the Allied victory in the Mediterranean in 1943.

Victory Day, observed annually on 8 September, recognises the end of the siege by Ottoman forces in 1565 and the conclusion of the World War II campaign that secured Malta’s strategic position. Local authorities announced that the Xaghra ceremony will form part of the island’s official commemorations, though specific programme details have not been released.

The announcement was reported by Gozo News, which noted that the ceremony will take place on Monday in Xaghra. No further information on participants or the schedule of the event was provided.
