Valencia’s Fallas festival 2025
Fallas refers to the spectacular sculptural monuments made of wood and papier mâché that are placed in the city’s streets and squares to be admired before they succumb to the flames. The main dates are from March 15th to 19th.
The main attraction are the hundreds of fallas which are "planted" in streets and squares all over the city. Each falla usually follows a theme and consists of numerous individual sculptures or sculptural groups, called ninots, which tell their own story. They often depict famous people or critique current affairs, always with a good dose of humour, satire, and creativity. Just as important as appreciating their art and meaning is the thrill of watching them burn on the night of 19 March.
During the Fallas festivities, around 800 Fallas monuments are set up in Valencia’s streets and squares.
The cremà is the final act of the Fallas, when the hundreds of fallas monuments succumb to the flames in spectacular bonfires. It takes place on the night of March 19th, and is staggered between 20:00 and 23:00, which means it is possible to see more than one falla burning.
