About
Fallas commissions that take part send giant satirical figures, called ninots, down the street on floats, with costumed performers and brass bands marching alongside. The figures poke fun at politicians and the news of the year, and some jokes are crude or sexual. Kids get the size, color and noise, while the jokes suit adults. The parade closes with the first pieces of the city's municipal falla.
