Battle of Flowers: A Colorful Finale for the Grand Fair

Categories: parties and traditions.

TOURISTIC AREA: City of Arts and Alameda

Carnations from the Valencian fields are the main attraction, bringing joy and color to the Alameda Promenade on the last Sunday of July.

The traditional Battle of Flowers has been celebrated since 1891, taking place on the last Sunday of July and covering the Valencian ground with a multicolored flower carpet.

It might surprise you, but 1,200,000 carnations from the Valencian fields are thrown between the occupants of the floral floats and the public in the designated stands. 30 hanegadas (a local land measure) of carnations are planted—in March and ready by the last week of July—spread across fields in Alboraya, Meliana, and Alcàsser, among other locations.

The parade consists of 40 floats decorated with carnations in the traditional "punxà"—an event held the night before the battle. On these floats, girls and women preselected to be part of the honor courts of the 2025 falleras mayores of València, representatives of various fallero sectors, and the falleras mayores of València of 2024 and 2023 will parade.

These honor courts are accompanied by very special guests such as the Bellea del Foc and the queen of the festivals of Castelló.

To enjoy the most colorful event of the year, come on Sunday, July 27th, starting at 8:00 PM, to the Alameda Promenade in València.
