Overview
- The Asamblea de presidentes de falla voted against the Junta Central Fallera’s plan to add a third day to the Ofrenda after the proposal received 203 yes votes, falling short of the 218 needed under assembly rules.
- The two‑hour debate ended with 203 in favour, 123 against and one abstention from the 317 presidents present, so the official Ofrenda dates remain March 17 and 18.
- As an operational alternative, the Junta proposed moving the children’s prize-giving on March 16 to the morning and asking the regional education authority to make that day non‑school, but that change is only a proposal and not yet implemented.
- Many fallas commissions opposed the third day because of concerns about children’s schedules, how juries would score newly planted fallas, and the need for wider discussion at the neighbourhood level, with some calling to delay decisions until after summer.
- The Ofrenda draws more than 100,000 participants and spectators each year, so organisers must still find ways to ease congestion and late-night finishes while preserving traditions and securing any school calendar change from the Conselleria de Educación.
