The fallero calendar brings back one of its long-running traditions: the 29th Balls al Carrer Festival returns on Sunday 18 October and will run until 25 April 2027. The itinerant circuit, organised by the Fallas Department and the Junta Central Fallera, brings together more than a hundred fallas commissions in 17 weekends with 175 performances of regional dances spread across four squares in the historic centre: Fueros, la Merced, la Reina and Manises.

Each participating commission gets a 20-minute slot, running from about 10:00 am to 2:30 pm, with performances cancelled in case of rain or very unfavourable forecasts. The festival starts just five days after the Proclamation of the Falleras Mayores of València 2027 and right after a big week of Fallas events — the Telefonada, the fireworks symposium and Una Festa Per A Tots: an October in which the fiesta already looks, with the dances, towards the long season that culminates in March.

The event is also a classic on the commissions' calendar: every weekend, different fallas take turns showing jotes, valencianas and stick dances in front of locals and visitors. The 29th Festival keeps its usual format: free entry, four stages in the heart of the city and six months of Saturdays and Sundays flavoured with traditional dress and dolçaina music.
