These are the most important annual events in Inca that you cannot afford to miss:
The Earth Fair, the Sport and Leisure Fair, or the Époque Fair: Immerse yourself in a dynamic calendar where the Earth Fair invites you to connect with sustainability and tradition. The Sport and Leisure Fair, which brings together everything from the motor show and physical activity to the rhythm of the dance showcase (tast de ball) or the musical treasures of the record fair; to finally culminate this journey with the Period Fair, where you can be captivated by the charm of the Rata Market, the magic of the circus show, and the majesty of the birds of prey display.
Dijous Bo: A major market with huge attendance from all over Mallorca. It features large exhibitions of all kinds, literary and livestock competitions, musical recitals, and sporting festivities. It is held on the fourth Thursday following the feast of Saint Luke – usually this is the third Thursday of November.
Sant Antoni (17th January): On the day of the saint’s feast, a solemn mass, the traditional blessing of animals, and a parade are held. The day before, bonfires are lit across the streets of Inca so that all citizens can take part in the traditional barbecues (torradas).
Sant Sebastià (20th January): This day commemorates the bubonic plague of 1652 and how the residents of Carrer de Sant Sebastià did not leave the town throughout the entire outbreak. It is celebrated with a large bonfire, a sung rosary, traditional verses (glosas), the “Of the Outbreak or the Plague” sermon, ximbombades (traditional drumming gatherings), and sweet wine served with paciències, which is a typical Mallorcan biscuit.
Easter / Pancaritat: A solemn mass is held at the chapel of the Santa Magdalena hermitage, accompanied by a traditional pilgrimage, races, athletic marches, a paella competition, and more. It is celebrated on the Sunday following Easter Sunday.
Sant Abdon and Sant Senén (patron saints of Inca, 30th July): Days before the feast of Abdón and Senén, the Town Council organises various events: traditional folk dances (balls de bot), bullfights, recitals, open-air dances (verbenas), and a solemn mass, which is always officiated by a priest born in Inca, alongside a visit to the Miquel Mir residential home, among other activities.
