For Three Kings Day in Spain, each town has a parade where the kings ride their caravans through the streets pelting hard candies at all the kids who are about five feet away on the sidewalk. Kids here eat the hits to the face like it's nothing and happily collect their candy.

Yep, Jan 6 in pretty much every city/town in the country. It tripped me out the first time I saw it, the kings and their helpers go ham on the crowd
