A City of Festivals
The Fallas Festival, the most important event of the year, occurs every March. Papier-mâché figures are paraded through the city, then burned in bonfires, and, in the evening, crowds gather to watch fireworks. The Great July Fair of Valencia (Gran Feria de Valencia) is a month when the city offers numerous activities, from outdoor concerts to fireworks displays by the sea. La Tomatina is a food fight festival held on the last Wednesday of August each year in the town of Buñol.
