- Wed, 10 Feb 2027Feast of St. Paul's Shipwreck
The supplied Malta calendar lists 10 February 2027 as the Feast of St. Paul’s Shipwreck and marks it PUBLIC.

- Wed, 31 Mar 2027Freedom Day
The supplied Malta calendar lists 31 March 2027 as Freedom Day and marks it PUBLIC.

No context source was supplied to explain the observance, its historical background in Malta, or its local significance. This entry therefore records only the calendar’s date, name, and classification and does not assume particular events or practices. Official Maltese holiday information or legislation could clarify the day’s legal coverage; a reputable local historical source could provide additional context.
- Mon, 07 Jun 2027Sette Giugno
Sette Giugno, literally “Seventh of June” in Italian, is listed in the supplied Malta calendar on 7 June 2027 as a PUBLIC holiday. The supplied context links the observance to riots in Malta on 7 June 1919 amid a cost-of-living crisis; it states that British troops suppressed the riots and four people were killed.

The supplied Malta calendar lists the Feast of St. Peter and St. Paul on 29 June 2027 and marks it PUBLIC. The accompanying context describes the Christian feast as honoring the martyrdom of the apostles Peter and Paul in Rome, with a liturgical observance on 29 June. This provides religious context for the calendar entry but does not establish particular Maltese customs, the extent of legal closures, or whether all communities observe it. The entry uses the date and classification supplied for Malta.
- Sun, 15 Aug 2027Feast of the Assumption
The supplied Malta calendar lists the Feast of the Assumption on 15 August 2027 and classifies it as PUBLIC. The supplied context explains that, in Catholic teaching, Mary was taken body and soul into heaven at the end of her earthly life, and identifies 15 August as the feast date.

- Wed, 08 Sep 2027Feast of Our Lady of Victories
The supplied Malta calendar lists 8 September 2027 as the Feast of Our Lady of Victories and marks it PUBLIC. No context source was supplied to explain the feast’s historical or religious significance in Malta, local observance, or legal coverage.

Official Maltese holiday information could verify the legal scope, while an authoritative local church or historical source could clarify the feast’s context.
- Tue, 21 Sep 2027Independence Day
The supplied Malta calendar lists Independence Day on 21 September 2027 and marks it PUBLIC. The supplied context identifies the date as the anniversary of Malta’s independence from the United Kingdom on 21 September 1964, and describes Independence Day as one of the country’s national holidays.

The material does not specify current legal coverage or particular commemorative events.
- Wed, 08 Dec 2027Feast of the Immaculate Conception

The accompanying context describes the feast as celebrating the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary and identifies 8 December as its date in the Latin Church’s liturgical calendar. This supplies religious context for the name but does not establish specific Maltese observances or the precise extent of legal closures. This entry is limited to those supported details and the calendar listing.
- Mon, 13 Dec 2027Republic Day
The supplied Malta calendar lists Republic Day on 13 December 2027 and marks it PUBLIC. The supplied context says the holiday commemorates the creation of the Republic of Malta in 1974, when the role of Elizabeth II as Queen of Malta ended and Sir Anthony Mamo became the first President. It adds that British troops left Malta later, on 31 March 1979. This distinguishes the republic milestone from that later departure; the context does not detail present-day commemorations.

The accompanying context notes that Christmas observance varies across countries and traditions, and describes Nativity scenes depicting the birth of Jesus among common Christian practices.
