History
In the year 1947, and after the Penya del Tio Pep lit the fallera fuse and the desire to party Josephine in Dénia, a large group of neighbors from all over the city met in the now defunct Bar Neutro to give rise to the birth of the first Fallas districts (Center, Maritime District, Les Roques and West) and the constitution of what was born as the Central Fallas Board of Dénia, which would be in charge of coordinating the activities that were not specific to each Fallas.
First meeting and end of Uncle Pep
The first president of the Central Fallera Board of Dénia was José Gualde Martí, and he had in his executive the majority of the people who formed the Penya del Tio Pep, imitating the functioning of the Central Fallera Board of Valencia in terms of the coordination of the faults in Dénia. La Penya del Tio Pep would stop planting forever in 1948.
But two years later, in 1949, the exhaustion of the people who formed the board made at the end of the exercise stops working. That's when the City Council, through the Commission of Government, decides to assume office in February 1950.
New stage and incorporation of more commissions
In 1961 it closes the first stage of the failures of Denia with stagnant until 1967, the party in all districts created in the city to resume in the year 1967, a Board chaired by Francisco Simo Santacreu in its first year. Reborn from its ashes Center commissions, Baix La Mar, Les Roques and West, beginning his career the Falla Saladar.
First Major Falleras of Dénia
In 1971, Dénia had a Fallera Mayor for the first time, a position that fell to Miss Mª Cristina Guzman de Carranza, and it was not until 1985 when the position of Fallera Mayor Infantil de Dénia appeared, held for the first time by the girl Estibaliz Miralles Ivars.
More than a fortnight of presidents have passed through the Local Fallera Board of Dénia until today, accompanied by their respective executives, always made up of falleros from the different districts of the city of Dénia.
Features
The Local Fallera Board, as a local autonomous body and a symbol of the union of the failures of Dénia, constitutes the grouping of the failures of the city of Dénia. It enjoys the official recognition of the City Council to exercise the guiding and coordinating function in order to celebrate the festivities and any class of acts related to the Fallas festival.
In the words of its rules, the fundamental objective of the JLF in the economic aspect is trying to achieve maximum economic resources for the overall set of the Fallas in Denia.
The Local Board Fallera consists of two bodies: the Executive Board and the General Assembly. The Executive Board is elected by the president, which delegates different functions in each, while the General Assembly is composed of representatives of eleven falleras commissions of the city, voting on matters discussed at meetings which they are held monthly.
