The fiesta is essentially thanksgiving: to the patron saint for intercession, to friends and neighbors for help and support through the year, and to God and nature for bounty and survival.
This is how I interpret what is happening here (please correct me if I am wrong). Some prominent families throw candies, cookies, shirts, bags and even camera's to the people in the street. During fiesta time people share their food and distribute a bit of their wealth with their townspeople.
