Gandia Fallas 2026 Programme: the days that transform the city
In Gandia, the Fallas are not just a succession of festive events. They are the week when the city changes pace, fills with gunpowder, music and street atmosphere, and showcases one of its deepest-rooted traditions. The 2026 edition once again unfolds with a programme that combines Fallas ritual, popular events and major public celebrations across different parts of the city. Gandia currently has 23 Fallas committees, and its Fallas were declared an Intangible Asset of Cultural Interest in 2015.

The most intense start to Fallas week arrives with a day that combines gunpowder and one of the festival’s big nights. The day begins with a mascletà in Grau de Gandia and ends with one of the most striking events of the celebrations: the Nit del Foc over the Serpis bridge.
