Fallas was officially inaugurated on Sunday, February 23, 2025, with a grand ceremony in front of the Serranos Towers in Valencia.
The ceremony, known as Crida, gathered a large crowd who enthusiastically witnessed the beginning of Valencia’s biggest festival. The program was spectacular – impressive performers, acrobatic acts, a solemn rendition of the Spanish national anthem, and the highlight of the evening was a magnificent fireworks display that illuminated the sky above the city.
Fallas has now officially begun, bringing a unique atmosphere, art, and tradition to the streets of Valencia.

What is Fallas?
Fallas is a traditional festival held every year in Valencia, Spain, in March. It is famous for its large, artistically crafted figures made of cardboard, wood, and Styrofoam, known as “fallas”. These sculptures often depict satirical scenes from society and politics, and the festival culminates in “La Cremà” – the night when the figures are spectacularly set on fire.
The festival also features parades, concerts, fireworks, and traditional costumes, making it one of the most important and vibrant events in Spain.
