La Ofrenda

This moving tradition is an integral part of the Fallas tradition. Hundreds of Falleras will offer a floral tribute at the Plaza de la Virgen to construct a giant effigy of Our Lady of the Forsaken, Valencia’s patron saint. The ceremony takes place over two evenings. This year, the Nit del Foc, Valencia’s largest fireworks display, will also take place at midnight. Expect major road closures throughout the city center. Schools will be closed, and store hours will vary.
