On the night of June 23, the people of Ceuta head to the beach for the Noche de San Juan, the great midsummer party. Bonfires blaze along the shore and crowds gather to eat, sing, and leap the flames, in an old solstice tradition that lights up the shortest nights of the year.
Midsummer bonfire celebrations have pagan roots (solstice rituals) that were later synchronized with the Christian feast of Saint John. In Ceuta, participation by Muslims, Christians, and others highlights community unity. Local authorities usually organize official fireworks to accompany the traditional private bonfires on the city's beaches.
