The Friday session of the Fallas pre-selections in Valencia, which included the Benicalap and Campanar sectors, extended until two in the morning. The high number of participants in both sectors was a primary cause for the event's length, along with a sophisticated election system and the parade of candidates identified by name. Additionally, the pre-selection for Botànic-La Petxina took place, selecting its six candidates before the day's conclusion.
The event included a speech by the sector president and the reception of two court of honor members belonging to these areas. The prolonged duration led to audible impatience from the audience, with Carmen Prades announcing the final adult elected candidate well past midnight. Saturday's schedule includes the pre-selection for Seu-Xerea-Mercat and Zaidía, marking the closure of the Gran Fira's southern pavilion.
