The Dijous Bo of Inca is Mallorca’s biggest and most iconic fair – known as “the fair of all fairs” and one of the most celebrated events in the Balearic Islands.
Every November, the streets of Inca fill with life: markets, livestock shows, concerts, street food, and the unmistakable festive spirit of the island’s heartland.
🐖 Dijous Bo 2025 – Inca’s Great Fair
📅 Thursday, November 13, 2025
📍 Inca – Town centre & fairgrounds
🕰️ A Fair with Centuries of History
The origins of Dijous Bo date back to the Middle Ages, when Inca was becoming Mallorca’s main centre for trade and craftsmanship. Farmers, artisans, and merchants gathered each autumn to buy and sell produce, livestock, and tools. It was known as the “Good Thursday” — the most important market day of the year.
🌾 Tradition & Modern Spirit
What began as an agricultural fair has evolved into a full-scale celebration of Mallorcan culture:
- Agriculture & livestock – Competitions and exhibitions, including the famous black pig showcase.
- Crafts & industry – Inca, the island’s capital of leather and footwear, displays its craftsmanship with pride.
- Gastronomy – From porcella rostida (roast suckling pig) to pa amb sobrassada and traditional frit, food takes centre stage, and dining in one of Inca’s historic cellers is a must.
- Culture & music – Performances, folk dancing, and children’s activities fill every square and street.
🎉 Curiosities & Atmosphere
More than 150,000 visitors flock to Inca each year for Dijous Bo. The fairgrounds take over much of the town centre, with food stalls, attractions, and live shows.
The celebrations begin the night before – the legendary Dimecres Bo (November 12th) – when music, concerts, and street parties fill the air until dawn.
💫 Why It’s Special
For locals, Dijous Bo is more than a fair – it’s a celebration of community, tradition, and identity. It’s a day when islanders reunite, toast with vi negre, and honour Inca’s enduring link between its agricultural roots and its vibrant modern life.
