On the 23rd June, the annual Sant Joan night festival is celebrated. The tradition is to light bonfires in all of the major squares and streets and to throw firecrackers.
Sant Joan marks the shortest night of the year and is celebrated by dancing, eating the famous cake known as coca and drinking cava. Most of the celebrations in Barcelona take place on the beaches and in Montjuïc where people stay out all night to watch the sun rise the following day.
