The city of Valencia kicked off celebrations for the most iconic tradition of the annual Fallas festival on Sunday. La Crida marked the official beginning of the Fallas and was held at the Serranos Towers. The Fallas Queen, a lady elected to represent the festival, delivered an emotional speech inviting Valencians and visitors to enjoy the festival. A spectacle of lights, sound and fireworks accompanied this unique moment, kicking off a few weeks full of tradition, gunpowder and art.

The Ninot Exhibition: Fallas art at its most splendid

For weeks now, the Ninot Exhibition has been open to the public at the Príncipe Felipe Science Museum. Visitors can admire more than 700 ninots, hand-crafted sculptures, presented by the Fallas commissions in hopes of receiving the coveted pardon. This special recognition spares one figure from the flames, which conclude the celebrations, allowing it to be preserved in the Fallas Museum.

The Mascletás begin in the Plaza del Ayuntamiento (Town Hall Square)

On March 1st, one of the most eagerly awaited moments of the Fallas will begin: the mascletás. Every day at 2 PM, Valencia’s Town Hall Square will come alive with the thunderous roar of gunpowder, creating a sensory spectacle that draws thousands of spectators. This year’s pyrotechnic lineup features some of the industry’s top companies, ensuring a breathtaking display of sound and emotion until March 19th, Saint Joseph’s Day.
