This afternoon València's waiting ends. From 7:00 pm, Mayor María José Catalá will preside over the extraordinary plenary of the Junta Central Fallera in the Salón de Cristal of the City Hall and, minutes later, will reveal from the Municipal Hemicycle the names of the Falleras Mayores of València 2027: first the Fallera Mayor Infantil and, right after, the Fallera Mayor. The chosen adult will be the 95th in the historical series of the office, which began in 1931.

The two calls will come from the 26 candidates —13 adult and 13 child— chosen on 26 September at the Roig Arena gala. The mayor will be accompanied by the Fallas councillor and JCF president, Santiago Ballester, and will read the jury's report before the extraordinary assembly of falla presidents. The two chosen women will address the fallero world for the first time and will be proclaimed on Wednesday 14 at 7:00 pm in the same Hemicycle, with the outgoing representatives Carmen Prades and Marta Mercader in attendance. The Telefonada and the Proclamation officially open the 2027 season.

Those who cannot make it to City Hall can watch it live on television: Levante TV broadcasts from 6:00 pm and À Punt connects from 4:45 pm with the afternoon magazine "Està passant CV", which will send reporters to the homes of the lucky winners. The city also opens on Tuesday 13 the deadline to apply for the 2027 Fallas permits —fireworks zones, activities, tents, markets and buñolerías—, which the Fallas department will process until 30 November. October's big day in the fallero calendar falls, fittingly, on a Tuesday the 13th: bad luck for the superstitious, a date to remember for everyone else.
