Everything is set for Żabbar to achieve a new record as the final preparations for the world’s longest dining table are under way.

Fresh from the success of the Malta International Food Festival, the Żabbar local council, together with its Culture Action Team, will be organising yet another culinary feast in Żabbar, in preparation for the Feast of Our Lady of Graces.

The road leading to the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Grace, boasts the unique features and aesthetic characteristics of Citta Hompesch.

And on Saturday, Sanctuary Street will be hosting Dine Along the World’s Longest Table. The event will host a 400-metre table around which 1,200 people will dine during this unique activity set to achieve a world record.

To give it the local touch, all the organisations in Żabbar have been approached to be part of this event and are being offered a profit share from all ticket sales for the good use in their running expenses of nation-wide renowned feast in September, others have decided to offer their share to local charity organisations.

Those present will be treated to a lavish meal, while dining in a great atmosphere as the street will be decorated with decorative lighting purposely set up for this event.

“On Saturday we shall once again witness a merging of the leading clubs in Żabbar aiming to reach a world record. I am convinced that we are leading the path towards a new era; a city which offers quite environment and harmony with unique cultural characteristics," said Żabbar mayor Quinton Scerri.
