The Fiesta Mayor of the Barceloneta quarter is celebrated around the day of Sant Miguel (September 29). During the fiesta are organized Sardanas dances, singing of Habaneras on the beach, correfocs, parades with the giants Pep Barceló and María la Nieta, and parades of the cannon: on the Sunday of the Fiesta, a neighbor dresses like a Napoleonic General wearing a cannon and shooting sweets to the crowd, which is very popular among children. The cannon passes through the streets of the quarter and with every shot the people simulate that they fall down and collect the goodies.
