Roig Arena Gala Names 26 Candidates for Falleras Mayores de València 2026

Next comes the mayor’s 13 October Telefonà, followed by the 14 October proclamation.

Overview

  • Held on 27 September at 19:00, the Elección debuted at the new Roig Arena with roughly 12,000 attendees, replacing La Fonteta after nearly two decades.
  • From 146 participants (73 infantiles and 73 adultas), juries selected 26 finalists—13 for each corte de honor—whose names were published after the gala.
  • The Junta Central Fallera provided a pool TV signal for live coverage carried by Levante TV and LAS PROVINCIAS online, with À Punt airing a special hosted by Ferran Cano and former falleras mayores as commentators.
  • The show ran under the theme Llum as a tribute to Sorolla, featuring a 60‑piece symphonic band, staging by David Sánchez Llongo, choreography by Álvaro Cuenca, and nods to Valencian traditions and anniversaries.
  • Outgoing 2025 representatives Berta Peiró and Lucía García delivered farewell speeches and the ceremonial llama eterna, as the process now heads to exaltations scheduled for late January 2026.
