Junta Central Fallera

What Junta Central Fallera does

Junta Central Fallera (JCF), legally Organismo Autónomo Junta Central Fallera, is the public autonomous organism created by the Valencia City Council in 1939 (succeeding the 1928 Comité Central Faller) that serves as the maximum representative and regulatory body for the Fallas festival of Valencia. It coordinates, regulates, and represents the hundreds of falla commissions (Comisiones Falleras) and their associated neighborhoods across Valencia and affiliated localities, organizing activities such as the Ofrenda (flower offering), ninot exhibitions and pardons, pre-selection processes for the Fallera Mayor of Valencia and Courts of Honor, plus competitive contests including Playback, Truc, Parchís, and Dominó championships. Its operating scope is strictly regional — limited to Valencia, Spain — and its constitution prohibits any commercial revenue activity.

The organization's digital infrastructure centers on the fallas.com public website built on WordPress CMS with WPML multilingual support (Spanish and Valencià), supplemented by three core digital products: the Secretaría Virtual (virtual.fallas.com/j15/) administrative portal for documentary procedures by falla commissions, TV Falles (tvfallas.com) for live and recorded event streaming, and a Transparency Portal for public contracting accountability. Its marketing and engagement surface spans Facebook, Instagram, X/Twitter, TikTok, YouTube, and traditional press releases, with no public or partner API exposure. GDPR/LOPDGDD compliance is enforced via the Complianz cookie-consent framework.

JCF operates as a non-commercial public entity: it does not sell products, has no disclosed pricing model, and is funded through municipal public budgets allocated by the Valencia City Council, which exercises supervisory authority over it. Its customer-equivalents are the falla commissions and the broader public of Valencia, plus interfacing government bodies, and its operating geographies are restricted to Valencia, Spain. Management decisions flow through formal governance bodies including the Directive, Extraordinary Plenum, and Assembly of Presidents, with a staffed headquarters of 8 employees based at Avenida de la Plata 117, Valencia.
