Las Fallas

Las Fallas is the name of a festival in Valencia, Spain. The tradition for the festival is that people make these large floats throughout the year (called "Fallas"), and then burn them throughout the night at the same time.

The streets were filled with these strings of fireworks. All throughout the day they were being set off in different locations, and they were LOUD.

This was one of the largest fallas

This one drew a huge crowd. 

Fuses and fireworks were used to light them.
