Spain's Els Enfarinats

During this 200-year-old traditional festival participants known as Els Enfarinats (those covered in flour) dress in military clothes and stage a mock coup d'etat as they battle using flour, eggs, and firecrackers outside the town hall as part of the celebrations of the Day of the Innocents.
