Some of the most anticipated moments of the Las Fallas celebration, are the light shows and inauguration of the illuminated streets. This year the events will be taking place Friday, the 6th of March, in the five main locations that also compete in the A category.
Falla Cuba-Puerto Rico
Launches its light decorations on Friday, the 6th of March, at 20:30. The following days the street will stay continuously illuminated between 20:00 and 04:00.
The light ensemble stretches for 200 meters. The theme is “EvoLUZión” (“LUZ” = “light”) and has to do with the past of this Falla. In 1960 it was the first to decorate a street with lights, and the one which led to the beginning of this tradition.
Below there is a photo of the assembly of the light structure.
