Dazzling Firework Displays Around the World

Las Fallas – Valencia, Spain
Each year, the Spanish city of Valencia celebrates the arrival of spring with a massive pyrotechnic display. The festival of Las Fallas is held every year from March 15 to 19, and also serves as a celebration of the Feast of St. Joseph, known as the father of Spain. Every day of the festival is filled with parades and events that honor the patron saint, including a unique event called La Mascleta — a competition between neighboring groups to see who can set off the most impressive—and loud—volley of firecrackers. The festival ends with a massive fireworks display called the Nit del Foc (Night of Fire).
