Las Fallas in the Spanish city of Valencia is an vibrant celebration of art, culture and of course, fireworks! Also known as The Falles or Festival of Fire, giant sculptures fill the streets all culminating in a fiery spectacle that symbolizes the triump of Spring.
The festival hosts a series of key events (see the schedule below)
but could in the main be best described as a giant street party, lasting
for several weeks!
Fireworks displays and firecrackers,
known as Mascleta, are a key part of the Fallas celebrations, taking
place each day throughout the festival in the city's famous Placa de
l'Ajuntament, while the climax of the festival, which falls on the 19th
March is Cabalgata del Fuego, or the Fire Parade, followed by La Crema,
or The Burning, which sees a large bonfire attended by huge crowds,
with smaller versions also held at sites across the city.
The festival dates for 2024 run from 2nd February through to 19th March.
The main schedule for Las Fallas for 2024 are between 15th and
19th March. Don't miss the fireworks at Jardin del Turia fom 16th -
18th March near Palau de les Arts
Full schedule and any last minute changes can be found here.
In previous years finding coverage of Las Fallas either on TV or
online has been a tricky endeavour, but since 2016 there is actually some
live coverage available.
The main coverage will be by
Spanish television channel RTVE, who are screening live both La Crida
and several of the mascleta events, most notably on March 19. You can
watch RTVE online here:

There is also a TV Fallas site available, showing
video of all of the Mascleta events, although it would seem with a slight
delay rather than fully live:

the festival:
