During the Christmas holidays there are a great many activities going on.
Pesebres (nativity scenes built to scale, elaborate ones often incorporating light and water) can be visited (there is a municipal one and there are others built by Sitges’ Associations and Societies). There is also a diorama exhibition of pesebres in the Palau del Rei Moro. El Retiro and Casino Prado put on games of El Quinto (similar to bingo with special names for each number, particular to Sitges). El Prado puts on Els Pastorets, a nativity play staged by amateur actors, featuring comical characters and set in Catalonia.
On the 4th of January, the children of Sitges take their letters to The Three Kings of Orient. On the 5th, in the afternoon families go to receive the Three Wise Men and watch the cabalgata procession which takes place in the streets of town. Their Majesties greet the children from their floats and their pages throw sweets into the crowds.
