The Junta Central Fallera (JCF) has convened its November ordinary plenary for Tuesday 10 November at 19:45 (first call, 20:00 second call) at the JCF boardroom. Item three on the agenda: approval of the proposed definitive classification for the 2027 Fallas. This is the procedural step that closes the section map of the upcoming festival after the appeal period that opened on 19 October.

The documents submitted with the summons — NI27119 for large fallas and C6976 for children's fallas— confirm that the appeal process barely shifted the board. The definitive list keeps 383 large fallas across 24 categories (23 in competition plus one "Fuera de Concurso"), with 10 commissions in Section Especial and a total allocation of €7,828,971.54 for the monuments in competition.

Only one section change in the entire registry

Comparing the October provisional list (C6953) with the November definitive list (NI27119) yields just one category move: Blasco Ibáñez-Mestre Ripoll goes from 8B to 8C, with its €3,850 allocation unchanged. It is the kind of administrative adjustment the section system produces every year and does not affect the calendar in any way.

The other noticeable difference is financial: Plaça Bisbe Amigó-Conca, in Primera B, goes from €42,683.14 to €43,460, an increase of €776.86. Beyond those two points, the definitive document mirrors the provisional one, falla by falla.

Who leads the elite

The top of the table stays the same. Convent de Jerusalem-Matemàtic Marzal and Monestir de Poblet-Aparici Albiñana lead the Especial section with €250,000 each, followed by Plaça del Pilar (€240,000), Exposició-Misser Mascó (€210,000) and Pl. Na Jordana (€195,000). Rounding out the top category are Cuba-Literat Azorín (€120,000), Avinguda Regne de València-Duc de Calàbria (€117,000) and Ribera-Convent de Santa Clara (€100,000), the last one to join.

The budget ladder drops steeply: from the €250,000 peak down to €2,203.75 for Pare Lluís Navarro-Remunta, in 8C, the lowest sum on the list. In between, 17 fallas in Primera A and 18 in Primera B, the two categories where the March podium battle will be fiercest.

What comes next

Tuesday's plenary will also vote on the minutes of the 6 October ordinary plenary, the President's report, reports from the delegations, and a questions-and-answers session. Once the classification is final, every commission will know its sealed budget for the plantà, and artists can finalise contracts and orders with the definitive figure on the table.

Still pending is the other big autumn document: the 2027 Calendar of Events, which must go through the JCF plenary and the presidents' assembly. It sets the exact times for the Ofrenda and the nightly firework displays, among other events.
