The Falleras Mayores Marta, María and their Courts of Honour were the main protagonists of the parade, who were accompanied by representatives from the Region of Valencia, Spain and abroad.

Last Saturday night, Valencia streets were filled with colorful spectacles, music and dances. At 10 pm started the Folk Parade with the Municipal Guard on horseback, followed by a group composed of over 500 musicians from every corner of Valencia.

Representatives from different communities in Spain also participated in the parade as well as international dance groups from Azerbaijan, Indonesia, Brazil, Senegal and Colombia. The lively atmosphere was given by the spectacle of Maduixa, who presented a street show with large structures entitled Meganimals.

Three giant and colourful inflatables illuminated the entire route of the parade that circled the Town Hall Square. Together with them, groups of batucada, stiltwalkers, acrobatic dancers and acrobats of the groups Dinamic and Guai Que Mola put an end to the night of multicultural entertainment. The finishing touch was given by the colourful Mascletà by Pirotecnia Martí.
