Fallas de Alzira

The Fallas transform Alzira with large and children's monuments, fireworks, music and the activity of its commissions. The celebration fills streets, squares and casals, and culminates on Saint Joseph's Day with the cremà.

Celebration date

The main festival days are normally 16-19 March. The wider Fallas calendar begins earlier with presentations, the ninot exhibition, Crida, parade and other events organised by the Junta Local Fallera and its commissions.

See the Fallas de Alzira 2026 programme.

Location and atmosphere

The monuments stand in many districts of Alzira. Plaça del Regne hosts the mascletaes, while other events use the Town Hall, Casa de la Cultura, Gran Teatre and streets across the city. The casals and street parties complete Fallas life.

A festival built by its commissions

The City Council describes the Fallas as an important means of social integration. The commissions carry out cultural activity throughout the festival year, commission monuments, publish llibrets and take part in Valencian-language theatre, presentations, parades and competitions.
