The First Fireworks of Fallas 2023
We kicked off Fallas 2023 with two great shows. For the first one, we went to the Palacio de Congresso, where fireworks were being shot off in honor of the Fallera Major Infantil. The pyrotechnics company Nadal Martí combined classic aerial fireworks with antique ground fair ones. And just a few days later we went to see a show at the City of Arts and Sciences by Caballer FX to celebrate the opening of the annual Ninot Exhibition.

They all pick up their boxes of Tro de Bac, a special kind of firecracker, which are basically like children’s Pop-Its, but much bigger and only for adults.
The Cabalgata del Ninot and Cant de l’Estoreta of Fallas 2023
Yes, Fallas is a festival of fire and fireworks, but parades are equally important to the Falleras and Falleros of Valencia. At the beginning of Fallas, there are two important ones: the Cabalgata del Ninots and the Cant de l’Estoreta. Both parades are mainly oriented to kids, but are great fun for people of all ages, for different reasons.
