Las Fallas Finale: Where to See The Night of the Cremà in Valencia?

On March 19, Valencia experiences the most emotional moment of its main city festival, Las Fallas. On this day, Saint Joseph’s Day is celebrated — the patron saint of carpenters, historically linked to the tradition of the Fallas. On the night of March 19, the Nit de la Cremà takes place. This is the climax of the festival, when the enormous figures installed throughout the city are ceremoniously burned.

Cabalgata del Fuego

The evening of March 19 begins with one of the most spectacular events of the day — the Cabalgata del Fuego (“Fire Parade”). It starts at 19:00 and проходит по центру города от Calle de la Paz to Porta de la Mar.

Hundreds of participants in costumes of demons and fantastical characters parade through the streets, with sparks flying and firecrackers exploding all around. The procession includes actors, musicians, and pyrotechnicians. Each group develops a unique performance to amaze spectators with visual effects, choreography, and striking costumes that transport visitors into a fantasy world.

When the Fallas are burned: Cremà schedule

After the parade ends, the city gradually prepares for the Cremà — the burning of all the Fallas. The schedule is as follows:

• 20:00 — the burning of children’s Fallas begins throughout the city;

• 20:30 — the winning children’s falla in the Sección Especial category is burned; this year it is the falla Espartero — Gran Vía Ramón y Cajal;

• 21:00 — the children’s falla at Plaza del Ayuntamiento is burned;

• 22:00 — all large Fallas across Valencia begin to be burned simultaneously;

• 22:30 — the winning falla of the Sección Especial category is burned; in 2026 this is the falla Convento Jerusalén — Matemático Marzal;

• 23:00 — the main falla at Plaza del Ayuntamiento is set ablaze, marking the official end of the festival.

The burning of the falla in the main square is accompanied by a large pyrotechnic show prepared by the company Pirotecnia Hermanos Caballer.

Although for many visitors the Cremà looks like a grand fire show, for the residents of Valencia it is прежде всего a symbol of renewal. The Fallas are created over an entire year but exist for only a few days, after which they disappear in flames. Almost immediately, preparations begin for the next year’s Fallas.
