MALTA - Manikata: Pumpkin Festival 2011
We visited the Manikata Pumpkin Fest which was organised by the Koperattiva Rurali Manikata (KRM) (Rural Cooperative of Manikata) organized its third annual pumpkin fair along the streets of Manikata at its Parish Church of St Joseph, on Sunday, October 30, 2011.
The Pumpkin Fest is to highlight the best of what Manikata has to offer and raise funds for projects spearheaded by Koperattiva Rurali Manikata and the Manikata Parish Church.
Stands were set up selling fresh fruits and vegetables, typical Maltese foods in pumkin base, crafts and pumpkin sculpture, children playing area, exhibition of vintage cars and motorbikes, Hospice and Permaculture from Rabat.
All proceeds from the event went towards financing KRM projects, including the restoration of Ir-Razzett tal-Qasam; suppporting the Funny Farm horse sanctuary, the development of a rural heritage trail stretching from Għajn Tuffieħa to Manikata; the planting of endemic and indigenous trees, shrubs and plants; the planting of olive trees in abandoned fields in order to turn them into profitable olive groves; and the restoration of the armoury of the former Għajn Tuffieħa Royal Marines Training Centre.
Another raising fund was organized by the Arab Culture Information Society in aid of the injured people of Gaza in Gaza War.

Bdiewa fil-Manikata spiċċaw bi ħsarat kbar fir-raba,kawża tal-maltemp.
Bdiewa fil-Manikata spiccaw bi hsarat kbar fir-raba taghhom minhabba l-maltemp li ghamel fl-ahhar tax-xahar li ghadda.Ghalkemm il-Gvern kien qal li l-bdiewa setghu jghatu dettlaji ta' kemm saritilhom hsara, l-awtoritajiet ma wrew l-ebda interess biex jghinu lill-dawn lill-bwieda biex jergghu jqumu fuq saqajhom

Il-Knisja tal-Manikata tinsab taħt theddida....
Deskritta bhala ikona tal-arkitettura moderna u kemm-il darba nghatat prominenza f'rivisti internazzjonali.Illum il-Knisja tal-Manikata tinsab taht theddida.Dan wara li l-Awtorita' ghall-Ambjent u l-Ippjanar, approvat applikazzjoni tal-Kappillan tal-lokal sabiex jaghmel zvilupp biswit il-Knisja.One News tkellem mal-Perit Richard England li kien iddisinja din il-knisja.
Manikata traffic problem
This keeps happening every morning even if signs were put up that heavy vehicles can't go through this road. Unfortunately nobody from the law enforcement is doing something to enforce this and ease the congestion. Also an easier solution would be to fix the road made of cement by making it smoother for vehicles and make it one way so that vehicles are only allowed to go uphill from there while the narrow road should be also done one way so that only vehicles going downhill could go through it, that would solve a lot of traffic problems
