The Festival includes competitions and friendship concerts by different categories including: mixed/female/male choirs, children and youth choirs, choirs specialising in sacred music, folklore and popular choral music. On Sunday morning, the participating choirs will animate mass in different churches in Malta. Results will be notified during a special ceremony on Sunday evening.
