The Fallas are held in Valencia, Spain. They're done the weekend of the holiday for St. Joseph/Father's Day. Each barrio organizes people who will raise money and construct the "ninot" (the sculpture). The ninots are made of cardboard, and paper mache, wood, wax and styrofoam (goodbye ozone layer). They ninots usually tell a story or comment on the latest news and trends. This year there were several ninots regarding the economic situation in Spain.

It is a five day party full of parades and processions with traditional dresses and outifts and music. On the last day the fallas begin and the city is basically ablaze. One ninot is chosen as the "winner" and displayed in the plaza de ayuntamineto, where after all the ninots have been turned to ash, this one is burned for all to see in the huge plaza at 1am.
