Spaniards hurl flour, eggs and fireworks in mock battle
Published: 12/28/2025

The annual food fight festival "Els Enfarinats" in Ibi, Spain, leaves the town covered in flour and egg shells. Participants in military-style costumes stage a playful coup with eggs, flour, and firecrackers. Residents are asked for "taxes" which are donations to charity, with potential consequences for non-payers. The 200-year-old festival takes place on December 28th, coinciding with Spain's Day of the Innocents, similar to April Fools' Day.
