Las Fallas 2027: When It Starts, When It Ends and What Is Confirmed
Las Fallas 2027 runs from the Crida on Sunday 28 February to the Cremà on Friday 19 March, with the mascletà in Plaça de l'Ajuntament every day from 1 to 19 March at 14:00. Those dates are the festival's fixed calendar and they are published. The timetable of acts is not published, and this page does not invent one.
Where the 2027 programme stands
Valencia's official 2027 Fallas programme had not been published as of 6 November 2026. Levante-EMV reported on 4 November 2026 that only the approval of the Programa de Festejos was outstanding, by the Junta Central Fallera's plenary and by the assembly of presidents. The programme is the PDF the Junta publishes on fallas.com; the 2026 edition was posted in December 2025, which is precedent and not a promise for 2027. This page is updated when the 2027 programme lands.
The fixed calendar, 28 February to 19 March
The dates below are the festival's fixed calendar and the city council's Bando Fallero, not a published agenda; the exact hours of the Ofrena, the Nit del Foc and the Cremà come with the programme.

What each part of the festival is
The Crida, 28 February
The festival's opening, at the Torres de Serranos, on the last Sunday of February. The city council fixed the 2027 Crida for Sunday 28 February; the date is not yet carried by the Junta Central Fallera's own programme. No hour is published for 2027, and the 2026 hour is not a safe substitute for it.
The mascletà, 1–19 March, 14:00
A daytime firework display in the square, every day from 1 to 19 March at 14:00. This is the one part of the festival fixed by an operator statement: Visit València describes it as daily at 14:00 from 1 to 19 March in the City Hall square. Which pyrotechnic company fires on which day is not published.
The plantà, 15 and 16 March
The day the fallas go up, in two stages: the children's fallas on 15 March, the large ones on 16 March. The 2027 hours are not published. If you have read elsewhere that every falla is installed on the 15th, that is not what happens.
The Ofrena de Flors, 17–18 March
The two-day flower offering starts at 15:30 on both days. Each falla commission's column time — when it reaches the Plaça de la Verge — is published with the programme, and no 2027 column times exist yet.
The Nit del Foc, night of 18 March
The Night of Fire, the festival's night-time firework display, on 18 March. No hour is published for 2027.
The Cremà, 19 March
The burning, on Friday 19 March. In recent years it has been staggered between 20:00 and 23:00, with the Plaça de l'Ajuntament falla burning last at 23:00; that is the usual pattern, not the 2027 timetable, which the programme publishes.
If you only have one day
The fixed calendar is what lets you choose a day before the programme exists, because every date in it is already known.
- One day, and you want the fire: 19 March. The Cremà is the night the fallas burn, and the Plaça de l'Ajuntament falla is the last one, at 23:00 in recent years.
- One day, and you want the big fireworks: 18 March, for the Nit del Foc.
- Two days: 18 and 19 March — the Night of Fire, then the burning.
- You want to see the fallas standing: from 16 March, when the large ones are up. On the 15th only the children's fallas are.
- You are here before festival week: any date from 1 to 14 March still has the daily mascletà, and the fallas themselves are not up yet.
A room on the square for festival week
No Fallas-week rate can be quoted: checked on 6 November 2026, Booking.com showed no availability for 13-19 March 2027 at the hotels that front the square.
Three of the hotels that front the square — Venecia Plaza Centro, Meliá Plaza and Grand Hotel Centenari — returned the same answer: no availability between Saturday 13 March and Friday 19 March 2027. That is an observation from a booking site, not a statement from the hotels, and no availability is not the same fact as sold out.
It also means there is no rate to quote against: with nothing displayed, there is no IVA line, no breakfast basis and no cancellation terms to carry. If your dates are that week, the practical choice is a cancellable room elsewhere in the city, watched against the square as the 2027 rates appear.
What festival week does to the streets around the square
Street closures are fixed earlier than the programme. The Bando Fallero, reported on 4 November 2026, and the city council's own announcements set what happens on the streets around the square for 2027:
| Date (2027) | On the streets |
|---|---|
| 28 Feb – 19 Mar | Buñuelo and fried-dough stalls |
| 6 Mar | Falla pieces moved into the street — Special and Primera A sections |
| 9 Mar | Tents (carpas) on empty plots, gardens and pedestrian zones |
| 11 Mar | Tents in all streets, and falla pieces into the street for the remaining sections. The general tent installation runs 11–19 March, a week later than 2026. |
| 12–19 Mar | Markets and food stalls |
| 7–12 Mar | Night pyrotechnics curfew: 22:00–07:30 |
| 13–19 Mar | Night pyrotechnics curfew: 02:00–07:30 |
| From midnight, night of 19–20 Mar | Curfew, except what the Cremà requires |
| All of 2027 | No street mojito stalls authorised |
Read the curfew rows together and the night has a published timetable: the quiet window runs to 07:30 throughout, and it starts at 22:00 until 12 March and at 02:00 from 13 March.
