With the vibrant spirit of Fallas soon to engulf the streets of Valencia, Lamburguesa, the renowned burger joint, is all set to kick off the festivities with its charitable event ‘La Masclet’ for the third consecutive year. Scheduled for Saturday, February 24th, in Bétera, this event promises a day filled with gastronomic delights, lively music, and a heartfelt commitment to charitable causes. La Masclet’ stands as a beacon of solidarity, embodying the essence of Fallas while supporting the noble causes of AECC and Asindown. Under the theme ‘It costs a little to help a lot,’ Lamburguesa aims to harness the collective spirit of celebration to make a meaningful impact on the community.

The event, organised by Grupo El Gordo and El Flaco, is a testament to Lamburguesa’s commitment to giving back to society. With all proceeds from ticket sales and purchases going directly to AECC and Asindown, ‘La Masclet’ exemplifies the fusion of festivity and philanthropy.

The festivities begin at 10 in the morning and continue until 1 the next morning, offering a diverse programme of activities for revellers of all ages. From savoury paellas to live music featuring local bands like Bombai and Himnóticos, ‘La Masclet’ promises an immersive experience in Valencia’s vibrant culture. For families, ‘La Masclet’ offers a playground of entertainment, with bouncy castles, face painting, and special appearances by the Valencia CF mascot.

At the heart of the event lies the Masclet burger, a culinary masterpiece crafted with locally sourced ingredients, including traditional sausage meat, Castellón cheese, and Valencian ratatouille. As attendees indulge in the flavours of Valencia, they contribute to a greater cause, amplifying the spirit of camaraderie that defines Fallas, with the day culminating in a spectacular display of pyrotechnics, with a mascletà and castle presented by Peñarroja pyrotechnics and sponsored by RICASA by Ricardo Caballer.

None of this would be possible without the generous support of sponsors and collaborators who lend their unwavering support to make ‘La Masclet’ a resounding success year after year. From local businesses to corporate partners like Coca-Cola and Red Bull, each contribution fuels the spirit of community and compassion that defines Fallas.

As Lamburguesa lights the fuse of Fallas with ‘La Masclet,’ it’s more than a celebration; it’s a testament to the enduring spirit of unity and compassion that defines Valencia’s most cherished traditions. As the city prepares to embrace the fervour of Fallas, let us come together to make a difference, one burger at a time.

In the spirit of ‘La Masclet,’ it is important to remember that it costs little to help a lot; a sentiment that resonates not only during Fallas but throughout the year, as we strive to uplift those in need and build a brighter future for all.
