Mascletà

Mascletà is a traditional Valencian pyrotechnic event, typically held during festivals, particularly during Las Fallas in Valencia, Spain. It consists of a series of loud explosions made using firecrackers, fireworks, and other pyrotechnic devices designed to produce a rhythmic and powerful sound rather than visual displays. The event usually occurs in the early afternoon and lasts around ten minutes or more, culminating in a grand finale. The objective of a Mascletà is to create a sensory experience dominated by sound, with the vibrations of the explosions echoing through the crowd. It is a significant cultural expression in Valencia, showcasing the skill of the pyrotechnicians and the communal celebration of the festival.
