Locals dress up as Os Peliqueiros (ornamentally outfitted “kings”) and battle each other with flour and live ants. Festas de San Xoán commemorates the birth of John the Baptist on the night of the 23rd of June each year. Galicians light bonfires on the beaches and set fire to an alcoholic drink called queimada, which is meant to keep witches away. On the 24th and 25th of July each year, the Fiesta de Santiago Apóstol celebrates James, the patron saint of Galicia.
