This page, in collaboration with, 'El Arte de la Pirotécnia' started a campaign.

The campaign is called #SponsorMascletà

Our aim is to highlight the terrible situation the Valencian Pyrotechnics are facing with a second year of their jobs being cancelled.

They have no voice, they have received NO support! And we want to change that!
On the 21st February it is the 10th year anniversary of the group that was set up by Jose Cañada for people that love and follow pyrotechnics and fireworks.
Originally we were going to celebrate with some small Pyrotechnics. Now it will also be the launch day of this campaign!

Since the campaign has started and thanks to our friends around the world for their contribution, we are able to put on a mascletà, if health allows it. If not on that date then it will be shot as soon as possible after and will be filmed live so EVERYONE can enjoy it. 💥❤️💥🌍

We are now also holding a second mascletà in March. We hope on the day of San José, Day 19. And one per month to help all of the Pyrotechnics companies that are taking part.

For more information, please watch this video, like and SHARE!!

Thank you and don't let there be silence! 🙏💥💥💥

Finally...on behalf of us all and the Facebook group, 'El Arte de la Pirotécnia, a big thanks to the following for your support so far!!❤️ 👏👏👏

What is #SponsorMascletà looking like today?

Well, it's looking quite positive!!

And if we can continue to raise money it will be even better!!

A big thank you to all the sponsors so far! 👏👏👏
Now, seriously, we need to raise the funds because so far our mascletà calendar looks like this...

February - Pirotecnia Nadal-Martí
March - Hermanos Caballer
April - Caballer FX
May - Pirotecnia Valenciana
June - Pirotecnia Sanmartín
July - Pirotecnia Crespo

That's already 6 companies we are trying to help, but at the same time we are raising the awareness for the entire sector!


So 6 mascletà, 6 towns, can it get any better? Well yes, actually. Because there are more companies we want involved, no we want ALL of them involved!!

Don't forget, every shot will be live and direct, televised and also recorded for your pleasure to watch over and over again on YouTube. We are making history!!

All sponsors will be in the credits and over time you will each be thanked individually. The entire sector is extremely grateful for the show of support you have shown so far!

Thanks again to all of you!! 👏👏👏

So give what you can, every little REALLY helps!!! 🙏💥💥💥

You can find the donation link in the comments section...

Ze verkopen nu kennelijk ook T shirts om de sector te ondersteunen. Op zich een leuk initiatief en best nog een gaaf shirt. Van de € 20,- (+verzendkosten) gaat echter “maar” 25% naar de sector. Dan maakt een donatie toch wat meer impact.

Nog even geduld en dan kunnen we genieten van de eerste sponsor mascleta!

#SponsorMascletà update...

Due to the extension of the lockdown made by the Generalitat Valenciana this evening, we have had to postpone the first mascletà by Pirotecnia Nadal-Martí that was to be held on 21st February to March.

The current curfew and isolation/lockdown was due to end on 15th February but it has now been extended to 1st March.

If permission is given we will now be shooting it on Sunday 7th March in L'Olleria.

The second shoot by Hermanos Caballer Pirotecnicos will be shot on the 19th March in Xàtiva and is now in collaboration with the local JLF also.

We will of course keep you posted on everything.

Meanwhile please do not let it put you off from helping as the campaign is working and raising the awareness for the sector.

Many thanks.

The pyrotechnics of Valencia propose a great night show on 19th March 2021!!

If this is the case, and it's looking possible, the fireworks would be fired on the night of San José from various different points to be visible from all over the city.

The pyrotechnics association of Valencia, Piroval, has proposed to the Valencia City Council to fire a pyrotechnic show on 19th March, Saint Joseph's Day, from different points of the city at night. This will again be designed so that it can be seen from windows, balconies and terraces for ultimate safety and to avoid large groups of people.

This initiative, with the Fallas suspended, would have a fallas spirit and would serve to reactivate the summer campaign of the pyrotechnic sector, with the town hall as a reference, as the president of Piroval, María José Lora, has indicated to EFE, after meeting with the Councilor for Culture Festive, Carlos Galiana.


María has said, "the City Council has been receptive and the proposal has been well accepted, although they have to study it and consult it with the health authorities first and foremost".

The intention is to carry out a pyrotechnic show on the day of San José, after 10pm, and that it be broadcast on television so it can be seen by citizens from their homes.

They want to reactivate the summer campaign which runs from June to October/November, the most important time for this business, in the current situation of uncertainty.

In other news, the association of pyrotechnic companies, that is made up of 27 companies, have called a demonstration for 1st March in Plaza del Ayuntamiento, symbolically coinciding with what would be the first official mascletà of the Fallas of 2021 gunpowder calendar.

For the moment, the sector has not received any aid from the government administration.

The 19th of March is also when we officially launch our #SponsorMascletà campaign with , 'El Arte de la Pirotécnia', with not one, but two great shows for you!

1st...

And then we will have our FIRST grand mascletà in L'Olleria by Pirotecnia Nadal-Martí! 👏👏💥💥💥

Both of these have been agreed and paid for thanks to our campaign and sponsors!! 👏👏👏💥💥💥

#SponsorMascletà Update:

As you may or may not be aware, we have already sponsored two great shows which are booked and paid for thanks to friends and our amazing sponsors!!

The first show was supposed to take place this past Sunday with a grand mascletà by Pirotecnia Nadal-Martí, unfortunately the current health situation did not allow this.

So now, on the day of San José, Friday 19th March we will be holding two shows. One by Pirotecnia Nadal-Martí and the other by Hermanos Caballer Pirotecnicos. More information to follow next week...👏👏👏💥💥💥

That has given people the work that is very much needed and appreciated during these hard times.

The events will be carefully managed with health first and foremost.


They will be televised and streamed live, on local radio too. We will of course also be filming and photographing every single show.

Some great news is that some councils have heard of the campaign and in certain cases have either matched our budgets or added extra! 😁💪💥

So now we are concentrating on continuing to raise the funds for the following months, starting on April with Caballer FX.

So your help is crucial to help make this work!

How can you help? There are a few options and something for everyone of all budgets.

1/ Make a donation as small or as large as you like to our Go Fund Me account.

2/ Buy merchandise. For instance, you can buy a t-shirt for 26€ which includes delivery to any part of Europe. If we sell 200 then that pays for a minimal mascletà or mascletà nocturna.


3/ Get your business name on our banner. This is a physical banner that will hang at every live event. We ask for a minimum of 100€ for this. (Current example below).

So do whatever you can to help the fantastic Pyrotechnics sector here in Valencia. I have seen first hand the struggles and ordeals they're facing and they receive no help or aid whatsoever!!

Don't let there be silence! We make a noise to raise awareness to the sector!!

Many thanks.

💥🙏💥

Not long now!! 👏👏👏💥💥💥

🎆 SANT JOSEP, MASCLETÀ DAY IN L'OLLERIA

On March 19 at 2.30 pm, in the Parc Pare Ferreres in L'Olleria, our lauded pyrotechnics NADAL MARTÍ will shoot a mascletà

This activity has been organized by Darren Bishop, Sponsor Mascletà, Pyro Freaks Katwijk (Netherlands), Family Cash and L'Olleria City Council. From the council we want to support, also, the pyrotechnics sector especially that of our municipality and, of course, that of the Valencian Community and the rest of Spain.

Other municipalities have carried out fireworks during the pandemic without any health risks. This type of show involves the application of a remarkable safety distance from the launch point that also applies to the audience. In fact, the Diputació de València contracted several shows this summer, subsidizing with "Torna la llum", the simultaneous launch of fireworks castles on the night of Saturday 18 July in 15 coastal municipalities in the province of Valencia.

The City Council will put all the means at its disposal and will ensure that the health measures of social distancing necessary to avoid possible contacts are complied with.

If you want to watch it from home, 10 TV DIGITAL will broadcast it live (https://10tvdigital.es/).

Heb zojuist ook een donatie gedaan. Ik hoop dat we een paar mooie dingen gaan zien, al is het dan wel vanaf een beeldscherm. Had in hwt afgelopen jaar deze week al vrijgenomen om weer in Valencia te kunnen zijn, maar dat geldt waarschijnlijk voor de meeste van ons...
