Five months before the plantà, the 2027 Fallas can already be seen in miniature. Una Festa Per A Tots, the gathering organised by the Federation of Special Section Fallas, opens its 26th edition this Friday 16 October in the inner square of Nuevo Centro, and it does so with a luxury premiere: the reception for the newly proclaimed Falleras Mayores of València 2027, Beatriz Blanco and Julia Vizcayno, together with their Courts of Honour.

The exhibition, open until Sunday 18, brings together the sketches and models of the nine top-category commissions —from Na Jordana to Convento Jerusalén or L'Antiga de Campanar— alongside the children's projects and the designs for the Municipal Fallas 2027. The novelty this year is that the large fallas again display full-size models from day one, so visitors can gauge the scale and the aesthetic choices that will reach the streets in March.

Friday's programme starts at 7:00 p.m. with the presentation of the participating commissions and the arrival of the festival's highest representatives; the opening of the exhibition is scheduled for 7:45 p.m. Saturday brings a fallero collectors' fair in the morning and horchata with fartons for visitors; on Sunday, a Valencian costume parade coordinated by Giorgio Guillot at 6:00 p.m. will round things off. Admission is free; opening hours run from 7:45 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. on Friday, 10:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. on Saturday and 11:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. on Sunday.

Consolidated as the first big showcase of the season, the event also serves as a popular baptism for the new reign: it is the first engagement on Beatriz and Julia's agenda beyond institutional protocol. The Special Section commissions therefore see it as a welcome to the face the festival will show in the streets of València from March onwards.
