Ħamrun (Maltese: Il-Ħamrun) is a town in the Southern Region of Malta, with a population of 9,244 as of March 2014.
The villagers are traditionally known as Tas-Sikkina (literally meaning 'of the knife' or 'those who carry a knife') or as Ta' Werwer (which literally means 'those who scare' or more colloquially, 'the scary ones'). This appellation could stem from the fact that a considerable number of Hamrunizi used to work as stevedores on the docks and thus carried a knife at all times. Another theory was that the community of Sicilians who settled here illegally in the 16th century danced a traditional dance which involved the wielding of small stilettos which they carried in their socks, waving them in the air and back to their sheaths.
San Ġorġ Preca (founder of the Society of Christian Doctrine) although born in Valletta, lived most of his life in Ħamrun. He is buried in a Chapel in Ħamrun. It is the home town of former Prime Minister Karmenu Mifsud Bonnici and of Presidents Anton Buttigieg and Guido de Marco. The founder of the Malta Workers' Union (UHM), Salvino Spiteri, was born and lived here.

St Joseph Band (Tat-Miskina) – Blue and St. Cajetan (Tat-Tamal) Reds were preparing all year for 'pika” - rivalry , marching in noon's scorching sun till siesta time and then religious part finally starts. Procession ending with running with Statue high in the air on church steps. I thing is the only one place where one can see such exercise. Mad Hamruzini giving the best from their throats till loosing voices, and many of them also clothes (both sexes).I did not hesitate and jumped head on in the middle of red and blue inferno. No costs were speared to produce a film from the centre of the action – equally in Pagan and Religious part : beer, skimpy dressed girls carried piggyback, loud brass bands, merry...

An annual event that happens in Hamrun Malta which is known to have the largest stores for choclate. The event celebrate the history of choclate way back to the times of the order of St. John, that was introduced to Malta by the Spanish knights of the order.
Summer is the season for festivals in Malta, and none are more exciting than the Festa of Saint Gaetan in the village of Hamrun. Supporters of the rival band clubs don red or blue to show their affiliation, and party hard from dawn till dusk. With all that alcohol and all that energy, it's amazing that no body gets hurt and nothing gets broken.
First base, it's me living an empty life so wrong
Heading to nowhere, drinking all night long
Then somebody told me, "Man, you better stop
You're going down, you need something to believe"
On the second, I was building, castles in the air
Dreamed of a kingdom, I was never going to share
But it felt so empty, something should've come my way
Now I know and it's clear inside of me
Here I stand again, I'm a gambler, I'm a man
It's my homerun, my homerun to you
Every life's a game and there's no one you can blame
This is my homerun, my homerun to you
Third base saw me taking all her pictures from the wall
When love surrendered, I fell as deep as I could fall
And the fourth back to my music, to free this troubled mind
I found something after times of being blind
Here I stand again, I'm a gambler, I'm a man
It's my homerun, my homerun to you
Every life's a game and there's no one you can blame
This is my homerun, my homerun to you
I was searching, bleeding, I cried some tears of pain
I was yearning, screaming it all brought me back to you
Here I stand again, I'm a gambler, I'm a man
It's my homerun, my homerun to you
Every life's a game and there's no one you can blame
This is my homerun, my homerun to you
Here I stand again, I'm a gambler, I'm a man
It's my homerun, my homerun to you
Every life's a game and there's no one you can blame
