They continue until the burial of the sardine{{Citation needed|date=September 2022}} — late afternoon on [[Ash Wednesday]].

[[Folk dances]] and xatonades (traditional local salad served with assorted omelets) are also characteristic carnival elements. The two most important moments are the Rua de la Disbauxa, or the Debauchery Parade, on Sunday night and the Rua de l'Extermini, or Extermination Parade, on Tuesday night. Around forty floats with more than 2,000 participants fill Sitges. Many people come from all around to see it, describing it as a favourite time of year because of the celebration.{{Citation needed|date=November 2022}}
