Pego has a great tradition of Fallas. Back in the year 1947 the first ninots were already planted in Sant Josep Street, and in 1951 the first fallas in Sant Josep and Regueró Streets. In 1952, the famous falla “la Vaca Lechera” was planted in Sant Roc Street. In 1953, some fallas were planted in Regueró and Sant Bertomeu Streets. All these fallas were only ninots and pieces of junk collected by people from the neighbourhood,which were skilfully dressed and painted to be offered to Sant Josep in his night. In 1954 the first falla as such was built, in the neighbourhood of Sant Josep, with the name of falla "La Font". This tradition has remained until the present time, with the exception of some years when the falla was not built. It is necessary to say that in 1955 the falla "La Plaça" was built and in 1957 the monument of the falla "Del Natzarè" appeared. These two fallas ended up joining and creating the current falla "La Plaça i Natzarè" and, curiously, this falla originated another one, but many years later, in 1997, which is the falla "Del Convent".
