In just over a month, the streets of Dénia will coexist with ninots, satire and criticism. In just over a month, we are in failures. This Wednesday afternoon, the president of the Local Board Fallera, José Vicente Benavente, has presented the Fallas de Dénia 2018 program.
The president explained that presents "a program that maintains its essence but in which we wanted to modify some of the acts in order to bring together as many falleros as possible and balance this year's programming".
The changes will begin to be noticeable this same weekend, with the celebration of the visit of decorated houses, to which the falleros sides join. Thus, the commissions will tour on Friday and Saturday afternoon the falles casales to discover their decorative proposals and enjoy at the same time the sides that each fault has prepared.
Next weekend, 24 and 25 February, the Gala Dinner will be celebrated, with the delivery of rewards and recognition to the Exemplary Fallero, Jaume Bertomeu; and the Children's Gala Snack.
