Exposició del Ninot 2026
One of Valencia’s most important pre-Fallas events, this exhibition brings together hundreds of handcrafted ninots created by local Fallas artists. Visitors can explore the figures up close at the City of Arts and Sciences and take part in the public vote to decide which ninot will be preserved instead of burned during the festival.
A must-see pre-Fallas tradition: hundreds of satirical, meticulously crafted ninots arrive in one place before the city’s biggest celebrations. This is where you can see the creativity (and sharp Valencian humor) up close - and where the public vote helps decide which figure will be “pardoned” from the flames and preserved for the future.
