Dijous Bo in Inca

The Dijous Bo in Inca, the most important autumn fair on the Island, is held every year usually the third Thursday in November, after the three autumn fairs and the fiesta of Santa Maria la Major. Every year the fair has a massive participation, both by exhibitors and visitors from all over Mallorca, and even from other islands. The programme of events includes a whole range of cultural and sporting activities that start the previous Sunday with the reading of the proclamation, although the central part of the programme takes place on the Wednesday and especially on Thursday.

Amongst the events organised every year, the morphological contest of the black Mallorcan pig stands out, plus the fair of the mule and the exhibition of autochthonous breeds, which opens on Wednesday afternoon in the Plaza del Bestiar, and the Exhibition of Commerce organised by the Shopkeepers Association of Inca that starts on the same Wednesday in the centre of the city. The day ends with a "correfoc" by the group of Dimonis d'Alaró and a musical fiesta for the youngsters in the Plaza Verge de Lluc. On Thursday morning, the animal and commerce exhibitions reopen and in the afternoon the programme of events finishes with a fashion show "Inca Ciutat de la Pell".

The Dijous Bo is the most popular fair on Mallorca and often it is said that Inca becomes the capital of the island on that day. Since 2003 the fair has its own web page on internet that includes greetings from the mayor and the full programme of the fair.
