FALLAS 2027: The Complete Calendar of Event & Important Dates
Save the dates! Valencia is preparing for another spectacular Fallas, and the 2027 celebrations are already taking shape.
With just a few months to go, the main dates and arrangements for Fallas 2027 are practically finalised. From the opening celebrations and the Crida to the daily mascletàs, the Offering, spectacular fireworks displays and the final Cremà, we now have a clearer picture of what to expect.
There is however, one important step still outstanding. The detailed official Festival Programme must receive approval from both the plenary session of Junta Central Fallera (JCF) and the Assembly of Presidents. This will confirm the precise timings for events such as the Offering, awards ceremonies, fireworks displays, galas, other activities and will be available to download on our website as soon as we receive it.
In the meantime, the main festival schedule and its associated arrangements have been established, giving visitors an excellent opportunity to start planning their trip!
Whether this is your first Fallas or your fifteenth, here's your essential guide to the important dates for Fallas 2027.
