Each year in Valencia, Spain the citizens put on a five-day celebration of Saint Joseph that culminates with the burning of the fallas or ninots (puppets). These puppets are constructed throughout the year and then destroyed in a fiery blaze, making for compelling images. Parades worldwide should take their cue from this festival.
