The beginning of the failures

The Night of Dawn, also known as “L'Albà de les Falles”, is a spectacular celebration that takes place in Valencia during the Fallas. This festival is celebrated during the night of March 15 to 16 to commemorate the end of the “plantà” of all the Fallas monuments and the official start of the Fallas, which will last up to 4 intense days.

During the Night of Dawn, more than 300 commissions simultaneously set off fireworks to celebrate the “plantà” of their Fallas monuments.

Starting at 00:00 from March 15 to March 16, all city commissions join this celebration.

The landmark of this celebration is the Town Hall Square, where a special fireworks show takes place.

This pyrotechnic show combines noise and roar with the light, color and sound of the fireworks that illuminate the sky of the capital of Turia.

In addition, each of the fallaes shoots its own fireworks, so the spectacle of the Town Hall Square merges in unison with the more than 300 castles from different points.

The Night of Dawn marks the beginning of the Fallas fireworks calendar, which has been celebrated since March 15 to March 19 his most notable days.
