Each spring, Valencia renews its covenant with fire and faith, gathering beneath cascading light to honor the Virgin of the Forsaken in a celebration that refuses to separate the sacred from the spectacular. This weekend, the city stages two pyrotechnic events — the percussive daytime mascletà and a nocturnal castle of fireworks — as part of festivities that weave together religious procession, Fallas tradition, and civic identity. A modified procession route and rehearsals by the 2026 Fallas queen remind us that even ancient customs require tending, that continuity is not passive but practice
