The Falles (in valencian) or Fallas (in Spanish) are a Valencian traditional celebration in praise of Saint Joseph in Valencia, Spain. The term Falles refers to both the celebration and the monuments created during the celebration. A number of towns in the Valencian Community have similar celebrations inspired in the original one from the city of Valencia.

Each neighbourhood of the city has an organized group of people, the Casal faller, that works all year long holding fundraising parties and dinners, usually featuring the famous speciality paella. Each casal faller produces a construction known as a falla which is eventually burnt. A casal faller is also known as a comissió fallera.

Die Fallas ['fa?as] (span.) oder Falles ['fajes] (val.), sind ein spanisches Frühlingsfest, das jedes Jahr in Valencia und in zahlreichen Orten der Comunidad Valenciana vom 15. bis zum 19. März stattfindet. Hauptattraktion sind teils haushohe Skulpturen aus Pappmaché und anderen brennbaren Materialien, die am letzten Tag des Festes feierlich angezündet werden. Sie heißen ebenfalls Fallas und haben dem Fest seinen Namen gegeben.

Las Fallas (Falles tradicionalmente, en valenciano) es una fiesta celebrada del 15 al 19 de marzo en algunas ciudades y pueblos de la Comunidad Valenciana (España), entre ellas principalmente en Valencia, Sagunto, Alcira y Burriana (Castellón), tambien en el resto de España como en la ciudad de Palma de Mallorca o incluso Huelva; así como en la ciudad argentina de Mar del Plata, receptora de miles de inmigrantes valencianos.
