The Falles turn Valencia into a single, weeks-long stage. From the La Plantà (when the fallas monuments are erected) on 15 March to the Cremà (when they burn) on the night of 19 March, more than 350 monuments built by neighbourhood casals (falla comas) line the city's streets. Every day at 2 p.m. the mascletà shakes the Plaza del Ayuntamiento, the Ofrena de Flors carpets the Plaza de la Virgen with flowers, and bands of falleros march from casal to casal in a procession that runs deep into the night. The full programme, recognised on the UNESCO Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity since 2016, packs millions of attendees into Valencia across the second half of March.

For Falles commissions, neighbourhood associations, music bands (bandes de música) and brand teams, the merch brief is unique. Each casal commissions custom polos, smocks and member kits every year, bands refresh their uniforms with embroidered instruments and insignia, neighbourhood bars and restaurants kit out their service staff in casal colours, and corporate casals and visiting delegations need full signage, branded staff gear and VIP gifting. The local palette tends to the spring pastels of the women's traditional dress (fallera) — ivory, coral, emerald, sky blue — alongside the saturated reds and golds of the casal banners. Falles pieces need to last through smoke, gunpowder residue from the mascletà, late-night rain and the street procession.

For international visiting delegations and corporate casals, the Falles also serve as a useful B2B counterpart to the spring trade calendar, with the dinner parties in casal-gourmet spaces and the off-stage meetings in hotels around Plaza del Ayuntamiento often producing the agenda items that the stand at Fitur or MWC turns into. A coherent merch pack — polo, mantilla-themed accessory, premium gift — keeps the international delegation visible through the night procession and the off-stage conversations. International freight for Falles is normally routed through the Valencia port or the Manises airport for high-volume shipments, with customs clearance for Latin American and UK visitors best planned ten working days ahead of 15 March.

Beyond the casal and banda merch, hotel and transport decisions weigh as much as production itself: hotels near the Plaza del Ayuntamiento, Ruzafa and the historic centre sell out weeks before 15 March, and pedestrian access to the Ruzafa and El Carme Casco Viejo changes during the main days. For corporate teams that bring a casal, coordination with the casal delegate and barra staff is as important as the embroidery of the blusones: the merch typically arrives in a short window and the per-casal distribution needs familiar hands.

The typical Falles rotation kit combines polos embroidered with the casal name and number, smocks in the commission colour for the main days, fajas and fallera pañuelos for the Ofrena, caps with the casal crest, lightweight backpacks for the younger members, notebooks and pens with falla motifs, and aprons for the barra. The fabric choice ranges from combed cotton for street pieces to lightweight poplin for evening smocks.

Recommended merch mix for Falles

Casal member and commission apparel

Polo shirts, smocks and quarter-zips for casal commissions and corporate casals, in casal house colours and embroidered with the casal name, infant fallera and fallera mayor insignia on the chest and sleeve. Coordinated member kits, lanyards and name badges sized per casal so each commission receives a single named allocation.

Banda de música uniforms and accessories

Embroidered band polos and marching jackets for the bandes de música that parade each evening, branded sashes and pouches for the band's insignia, plus lightweight rain-shell layers for the night processions and instrument covers carrying the band's crest.

Hospitality and street-bar service kits

Embroidered service polos and aprons for bars and restaurants in Ruzafa, El Carme and Campanar serving esmorzars de fallera and bunyols, branded tableware sleeves, bilingual ES/EN menus and waiter cards for the visiting delegations, plus take-home pieces for regulars.

Corporate casal and VIP gifting

Branded signage panels and welcome cards for corporate casals, premium gift boxes assembled per recipient for visiting partners, embroidered mantons and traditional accessories for VIP delegations, plus lightweight corporate-tailored banners for the casal entrance.

Production, IVA and venue delivery in Valencia

Before production begins, the artwork, quantities, the casal location and the named recipient at each casal or hotel must be locked. Valencia is straightforward for road freight, but the casal neighbourhoods fill up quickly in the days before 15 March and street access becomes tight. Many casal commissions and corporate teams split the shipment between a buffer pallet in a Valencia hotel block or a Ruzafa office and named deliveries to each casal during the early-morning lull between mascletà and the evening procession. IVA 21% is added on the B2B invoice and reported via FACe (the General Administration's electronic invoicing platform) or the Suministro Inmediato de Información (SII) real-time VAT ledger at the Agencia Tributaria (AEAT); EU intra-community deliveries follow the reverse-charge rule on a valid VIES-registered VAT number. Some promotional and printed items may qualify for the 10% IVA reducido rate when they meet the relevant Spanish category, which we confirm line by line on the quote.

Planning timeline

  1. 8–10 weeks out: confirm item list, quantities per casal and recipient group, decoration methods (embroidery, screen print, transfer) and Pantone references for casal house colours.
  2. 5–6 weeks out: approve a physical or production-grade sample, especially for embroidered casal signage and premium gift boxes.
  3. 3–4 weeks out: finish production, run quality control and label each carton with the casal name, neighbourhood address and named on-site contact.
  4. Final week: reconfirm delivery windows, the named on-site contact at each casal and the buffer pallet location in Valencia.

Frequently asked questions

When do the Falles take place and how long is the festival?

The main Falles days run 15–19 March each year, with the La Plantà (monument erection) on the night of 14–15 March and the Cremà (monument burning) on the night of 19 March. The full programme runs from early March, with daily mascletà at 2 p.m. in the Plaza del Ayuntamiento, and finishes with the Cremà. Please confirm the exact calendar on the official Valencia tourism guide before locking your merch timeline.

Can you deliver straight to our casal in Ruzafa or Campanar?

Yes, with planning. The neighbourhoods become tight on foot in the days leading up to 15 March, so we typically deliver to a Valencia hotel block, a Ruzafa office or a Campanar warehouse in the morning, then carry the freight to the casal during the early-afternoon lull between mascletà and the evening procession. For corporate casals with their own logistics team, we coordinate with the named casal delegate.

What quantities make sense for Falles merch?

Casal commissions typically order 200–1,000 polos and 300–1,500 giveaways per casal, bandes de música 30–120 marching uniforms, hospitality venues 25–80 staff polos and 200–600 service pieces, and corporate casals 50–300 VIP kits. We size the run to the casal and can split a single order across several casals.

Is Corp-Merch a partner or official supplier of the Falles?

No. Corp-Merch is an independent external supplier that helps Falles commissions, bandes de música, neighbourhood associations and corporate teams prepare their own merch for the festival. We do not organise, sponsor or represent the Falles, the Junta Central Fallera, the Ayuntamiento de Valencia or any casal.
