The Fallas of 2027 are set to break yet another record. The budget declared by Valencia's almost 400 commissions for their monuments totals €10,592,514 — €771,632 more than in 2026 — the highest figure ever committed to main and children's fallas, according to the provisional classification published this week by the Junta Central Fallera (JCF).

The previous ceiling was set in 2026, when combined spending reached €9,821,077. Before that, the record dated back to 2010, with €9,415,126 in the Nou Campanar era of sky-high budgets. Of this year's €10.5 million, €7,828,194.68 goes to the main monuments (up from €7,280,136.5 in 2026), while €2,764,514.60 is earmarked for the children's fallas, €223,574 more than last year.

The Special Section once again accounts for the biggest outlay: €1,862,300 across the ten commissions in the top tier, €283,700 more than in 2026. Topping the table are Convento Jerusalén-Matemàtic Marzal and Monestir de Poblet-Aparici Albiñana, with €250,000 each, followed by Plaça del Pilar (€240,000) and Exposició-Micer Mascó (€210,000). Newly promoted Ribera-Convento Santa Clara closes the list at €100,000. At the other end, newly created Sierra Calderona-Rafael Alberti — the third attempt in the old Nou Campanar territory — will plant its first main falla with just €3,500.

Among the children's monuments, Iván Tortajada's project for Convento Jerusalén is again the most expensive at €75,000, while the lowest sections move in token figures, from €1,000 at Plaça Santa Creu to €985 at Padre Luis Navarro-Remonta.

Fallas artists are the first to want that money to reach the workshops. Las Provincias warns, however, that a large slice of the budget will be swallowed by the relentless rise in the price of materials such as cork and paint. The record figure coincides with the municipal aid scheme for 2027: Valencia City Council plans €2.69 million in grants, covering 30% of the declared tax base, with applications expected before Christmas and payment before the plantà.
