The San Pietru Philharmonic Society, known as Banda Birżebbuġa A.D. 1990, has been granted a new site in Triq il-Brolli, Birżebbuġa. This development aims to enhance fireworks safety and preserve local traditions.

The new premises include a field and an adjacent structure, which previously served as a defence post. These assets were under the responsibility of the Lands Authority before being transferred to the band club.

The transfer was formalised as a 15-year lease, providing the society with a dedicated space for its activities and operations. Both Lovin Malta and Times of Malta reported on this agreement.
