Valencia Gears Up for Tonight’s Correfoc and Tomorrow’s Batalla de Flores

Traffic closures, parking bans, a restored 1926-style Tribuna de Autoridades and extended transport services underpin the closing ceremonies as the Feria de Atracciones continues through August 8.

Overview

  • Tonight’s Focs al carrer correfoc kicks off at 23:00 along Calle de la Paz to Porta de la Mar with performances by the Dimonis de Massalfassar, Colla de Dimonis de Mislata and FX Caballer.
  • The Ayuntamiento de Valencia has closed key streets from 21:00 to 01:00 on July 26–27 and banned parking on major avenues to secure both the correfoc and Sunday’s floral parade.
  • A newly expanded Tribuna de Autoridades on the Paseo de la Alameda, complete with stairs, balustrades and period lamps, has been unveiled for dignitaries and fallero jurors.
  • Sunday’s Batalla de Flores at 20:00 will feature 30 artist-decorated floats in two judged phases, culminating in the communal tossing of 1.2 million carnations.
  • The Feria de Atracciones in Jardín del Turia (Tramo IX) offers 19 rides, games and food stalls nightly into the early hours and remains open until August 8.
