Even though it rained…. it didn’t damp the spirits of the performers!

Last night saw some spectacular fireworks for the Santa Tecla Celebrations.

Crowds of people packed the beaches to celebrate the annual event.

Then it was off to the bars and clubs where people danced the night away!

The celenbrations cluminate today with the parade of fire through the town.

The route includes Fonollcar, San Joan, Davallada, Barcelona, Santiago Rusinol, Jesus, Cap de la Vila, Parellades, Bonaire, Psg de la Ribera, Major, Plz de l’Ajutament.

Remember to wear a hat if you intend to dodge the fireworks.

The parade kicks off at 7.30.. Enjoy!

Remember the Santa Tecla Fireworks take place tonight at 11pm on the beaches of La Fragata. Get their early to guarantee a great viewing position.

Saturday Night saw dragons and beasts of fire from the surrounding towns, decend on Sitges to celebrate the 25th Anniversary of the Sitges Dragons…

Accompanied by the usual drummer bands, locals and tourists, the town came alive to the sights and sounds of another Santa Tecla…

The drummers even dropped by GaySitgesGuide’s offices and performed a special routine for us!

You can view all of the dragons and the full gallery on Gay Sitges Guide below.

It can be difficult to video Fireworks, but Esteban seems to have captured some of the best moments of the recent fireworks during the Santa Tecla festival. This just gives you a falvour of what to expect if you attend any of Sitges major festivals.
