Autumn is one of the best times to visit Inca. The town’s annual fair season brings together local producers, traditional Mallorcan culture, food, music, family activities and plenty of opportunities to explore the town. For some reason, I rarely visit Inca but when I do it is always very enjoyable and suprising how much it has to offer.
With several events still to come, here’s what to look out for over the next few weeks, may be a good reason to spend some more time there!
31 October – 1 November: Fira de l'Esport i l'Oci
The second fair weekend celebrates sport, leisure, motor vehicles and local traditions.
Highlights include the Fira del Motor, the Fira del Disc, the Leatherfest music festival and the Fira del Mul, featuring a morphological competition for mules and donkeys. There are also sporting activities, the popular Cursa de sa Galleta and the Vermut Bo food and drink fair.
It’s a varied programme, with something for visitors interested in everything from motors and music to traditional agriculture and gastronomy.
6–8 November: Fira d'Època
Inca steps back in time for its third fair, with a programme inspired by the town’s history and traditions.
The Fira d’Època features a medieval market, artisan and food stalls, street entertainment, circus performances and falconry displays. The programme also includes the Rata Market and the Nit del Vi, making this a good opportunity to discover local products and enjoy the atmosphere around the town centre.
Check the official programme for individual performance times and locations before travelling.
18–19 November: Dimecres Bo and Dijous Bo (The Big One!)
The highlight of Inca’s autumn calendar arrives in the second half of November with Dimecres Bo and Dijous Bo.
Dijous Bo, held on Thursday 19 November this year, is one of Mallorca’s best-known traditional fairs. It attracts visitors from across the island, with agricultural and livestock displays, machinery, local food, crafts, commercial stalls and a huge variety of products.
The celebrations begin the previous day with Dimecres Bo, when the town starts to fill with visitors ahead of the main fair.
If you’re planning to attend, allow extra time for travel and check for special public transport services, road closures and parking arrangements.
Getting to Inca by train
If you’re travelling from Palma, taking the train is worth considering. Serveis Ferroviaris de Mallorca (SFM) has announced additional weekend services for the fair weekends leading up to Dijous Bo.
The published reinforcement includes 16 additional trains each Saturday and Sunday afternoon, with services between Palma and Inca in both directions on 31 October–1 November and 7–8 November.
Further special services, including night trains and additional capacity, are planned for Dijous Bo itself.
