On the final night of Falles, around midnight on 19 March,<ref name="CarvajalHorwood2004">{{cite book|author1=Carol Styles Carvajal|author2=Jane Horwood|author3=Nicholas Rollin|title=Concise Oxford Spanish Dictionary: Spanish-English/English-Spanish|url=https://archive.org/details/isbn_9780198609773|url-access=registration|year=2004|publisher=Oxford University Press|isbn=978-0-19-860977-3|page=[https://archive.org/details/isbn_9780198609773/page/293 293]}}</ref> these ''falles'' are burnt as huge bonfires. This is known as ''La Cremà'' (the Burning), the climax of the whole event,<ref name="Ariño1999">{{cite book|author=Antonio Ariño|title=El Teatre en la festa valenciana|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=uo5dAAAAMAAJ&q=%22La%20Crem%C3%A0%22%20%22falles%22d|year=1999|publisher=Generalitat Valenciana|isbn=978-84-482-2333-5|page=328}}</ref> and the reason why the constructions are called ''falles'' ("torches").  Traditionally, the falla in the ''Plaça de l'Ajuntament'' is burned last.

All ''commissions'' have a ''falla infantil'' (children's ''falles'', smaller and without satirical themes), which are held a few meters away from the main one. This is burnt first, at 10:00 pm. The main neighbourhood ''falles'' are burnt closer to midnight; the burning of the ''falles'' in the city centre often starts later. For example, in 2005, the fire brigade delayed the burning of the Egyptian funeral ''falla'' in ''Carrer del Convent de Jerusalem'' until 1:30 am, when they were sure all safety concerns were addressed.

Each ''falla'' is laden with fireworks which are lit first. The construction itself is lit either after or during the explosion of these fireworks. ''Falles'' burn quite quickly, and the heat given off is felt by all around. The heat from the larger ones often drives the crowd back a couple of metres, even though they are already behind barriers that the fire brigade has set several meters from the construction. In narrower streets, the heat scorches the surrounding buildings, and the firemen douse their fronts, window blinds, street signs, etc. with water hoses to stop them catching fire or melting, from the beginning of the ''cremà'' until it cools down.

Away from the ''falles'', people frolic in the streets, the whole city resembling an open-air dance party, except that instead of music there is the incessant (and occasionally deafening) sound of people throwing fireworks around randomly. There are many stalls selling trinkets and snacks such as the typical fried ''porres'', ''churros'' and ''bunyols'', as well as roasted chestnuts.

While the smaller fallas dotted around the streets are burned at approximately the same time, the last falla to be burned is the main one, which is saved until last so that everybody can watch it. This main falla is found outside the ''Ajuntament'' – the city hall building. People arrive a few hours before the scheduled burning time to get a front row view. This final falla is burned in public after the signal from the Fallera Major to officially commence.
