Fallas 2027 day by day: mascletas and crema

This page sits beside the main guide and sorts the festival into days. Start with the Valencia Fallas guide for the general picture. Then come back here to choose what to do on each day.

The official Fallas 2027 programme is not published yet at the time of this update. The dates in this guide follow the usual yearly pattern. Junta Central Fallera confirms the final calendar on fallas.com. Check that confirmation again when March draws near.

Fallas 2027 day by day

From 1 March to 19 March the square hosts the mascletà at 2 pm each day under the usual pattern. The opening days feel more local. Streets already show work around each casal and each commission base.

Around 15 March the child falla plantà closes under the usual pattern. Around 16 March the large falla plantà is completed. Those days reward an early start in the street.

On 17 March the Ofrenda begins under the usual pattern. On 18 March the Ofrenda runs through the afternoon. The night of 18 March is set aside for Nit del Foc.

On 19 March the cremà closes the festival. Child fallas burn first at dusk. Large fallas burn later that night and the Town Hall falla closes the night.

With one free day choose 19 March to see finished monuments standing. With two days in a row 18 March and 19 March let you follow the Ofrenda and watch the cremà. The full yearly calendar sits in the Valencia 2027 calendar.

Mascleta: time and how to watch it in the square

The mascletà fires in Plaza del Ayuntamiento. The usual time is 2 pm each day. The usual run lasts from 1 March to 19 March.

Arrive early since entry streets fill before the firing starts. The area near the square closes to traffic. Sound travels through the whole body for several minutes.

Pick a spot with a clear exit toward a side street. Keep distance from the fencing and follow staff directions. People who dislike loud noise can stand several streets away.

Young children need suitable ear protection. Avoid standing beside public address speakers. After the firing the square takes a while to empty.

Waiting a few minutes avoids the biggest exit crowd. From there you can continue on foot through the centre. The festival events page sits at Fallas of Valencia.

Planta and prizes by section

The plantà is the final assembly of the monument in the street. Commissions work through the previous night. Finishing touches happen early in the morning.

Under the usual pattern the child plantà closes around 15 March. The large plantà closes around 16 March. Judges tour the city after the official closing time.

Prizes are arranged by section according to size and budget. Each section keeps its own prize list. Secció Especial holds the monuments with the largest budgets.

Prize results are announced after the jury has finished scoring. Banners on site show the prize each falla has won. That announcement reshapes visiting plans for the next day.

Many people head first to prize winning monuments in Secció Especial. Other people prefer neighbourhood fallas with smaller crowds. Both choices work when you plan the route by area.

The ninot indultat is chosen by public vote among exhibited ninots. The chosen ninot is spared from the fire each year. Afterward it joins the museum collection on display.

Ofrenda: route and times

The Ofrenda carries flowers to the Virgin of the Desamparados. The ceremony takes place in Plaza de la Virgen. Commissions parade in traditional dress and with band music.

Under the usual pattern the Ofrenda fills 17 March and 18 March. Each day gathers a different group of sectors. The parade moves through the afternoon and into the night.

The usual route converges on Plaza de la Virgen through central streets. The two classic entry streets are Calle de la Paz and Calle de San Vicente Mártir. The exact sector order is confirmed in the official programme.

Flowers form the mantle of the image standing in the square. The floral design changes each year. The finished mantle reads best at the end of day two.

To watch the parade find a wide stretch of pavement. Avoid crossing between commissions while they pass. The square fills completely during the central hours.

A nearby balcony gives another view of the parade. At street level the costume detail stands out clearly. Choose one option and hold that spot for a good while.

Nit del Foc and crema

Nit del Foc is the fireworks display held on the night of 18 March. It is the main pyrotechnic firing of the main week. The exact start time is confirmed in the official yearly programme.

The crowd gathers early around the firing area. Nearby bridges and riverbed banks draw large numbers of people. Arrive early if you want a front row place.

The cremà ends the festival on 19 March. Child fallas burn first at dusk under the usual pattern. Large fallas burn later that same night.

Each commission burns its monument on its own site. Fire crews control the perimeter at each burning. The public must respect the safety cordon at all times.

The Town Hall falla is the last one to burn. That order repeats each year under the usual pattern. The square then says farewell until the next edition.

After the large cremà streets hold ash and monument remains. Cleaning services work through the early hours. The next day the city returns to its normal rhythm.

Museu Faller and Museu de la Festa

Museu Faller stands in the Montolivet district. It keeps the ninots indultats spared from the fire over many decades. A visit helps explain how the falla monument has changed.

The museum page sits at Museu Faller. There you can check its location within the district. The collection is arranged by year of pardon.

Each ninot keeps a label with its year and its maker. Pieces show changes in materials and in style. Official posters from past editions are also displayed.

Museu de la Festa adds context on Valencian festive culture. Its approach complements a visit to Museu Faller. Both spaces help you prepare for a March trip.

Outside the main week the museum keeps regular opening hours. During Fallas visitor numbers rise in a clear way. Check current opening hours before travelling to Montolivet.

The full visit fits inside one calm morning. It pairs well with a walk along the Turia riverbed. That area lies close to the museum itself.

Staying in Valencia and getting around

Book lodging months ahead for the main festival week. Prices rise as March approaches. The area guide sits at where to stay in Valencia.

Sleeping outside the centre reduces night noise. Sleeping in the centre shortens walks on foot. Weigh the real rest you need each night.

Many central streets close during the main events. A car proves impractical on those days. Metro services and tram services add capacity during Fallas under the usual pattern.

Check transport options in how to get around Valencia. Walking is the most reliable option inside the centre. Allow for diversions caused by street closures and safety cordons.

Pumpkin buñuelos are sold at street stalls during the festival. They are eaten hot and freshly made. Hot chocolate often accompanies the buñuelos.

For full meals book a table outside peak hours. Restaurants near the square fill right after the mascletà. More dish ideas sit in what to eat in Valencia.

Check single events and late changes in the agenda. The official programme rules over any expected timetable. Adjust your plan when Junta Central Fallera publishes its confirmation.
