All the devils' dances and dragons dance together at the end of the correfoc held in Sant Pere de Ribes (Penedès, Catalonia) before its festa major (Catalan holiday that each town/city celebrates on the day of its patron saint).

A correfoc (meaning "fire run" in the Catalan language) is an event held as part of a town, city or neighbourhood's festa major festivity, usually celebrated a few days before the feast day itself. On the day of the festivity and its eve, the traditional dances from the town will dance on the streets, including the fire dances like the Devils' Dance and the fire bestiary. But for the correfoc, the devils' dances, the dragons and other fire bestiary from the near towns are invited as well, each one accompanied by their drummers. All these fire beasts and devils dance on the streets of the host town. In some towns it's treated as a game where the people have to run faster than the fire dancers or dodge the fire. In some places like Ribes (this video) they all light up for one last song together in the same square.

Video by Drac de Sitges. The song is "Nanu" by the local band Bugies.

Fideus de vermar ("grape harvest noodles") is a traditional dish from Mallorca (Balearic Islands) eaten around the month of September.

This dish is a spicy noodle soup in sheep broth with sheep meat, onion, garlic, tomato, thyme, marjoram, clove, a little bit of cinnamon, olive oil, salt, false pepper or allspice, a drizzle of wine, and Capsicum frutescens chilli pepper, and can also have pork sausage (botifarró and llonganissa).

It's very typical from the town of Binissalem. Every year on the last Sunday of September, Binissalem celebrates a communal meal with thousands of people to eat this dish. Last year, the meal gathered 22,000 people.

WINTER FESTIVAL OF LIGHTS

Niagara Falls Winter Festival of Lights is an annual Canadian tradition. This occasion honours and values the historic Canadian heritage of Niagara Falls, while engaging the community and tourists with a wide range of activities, illuminating light displays, and fireworks, designed to celebrate the festive joy of the holiday season. I highly encourage everyone to participate in this immersive holiday experience with your family and friends, which celebrates our Canadian cultural roots, fosters a sense of belonging, and features winter activities such as journeying behind the falls, interactive activities in the downtown core for all ages, fine dining, or enjoy a bird’s eye view of the spectacular Niagara Falls on the SkyWheel or Skylon Tower.
