Correfoc Feuerfrau: Traditional Fire Run in Inca

Are you ready to witness one of Mallorca’s most intense and captivating traditions? On March 6th, 2026, the streets of Inca transform into a stage of light, sparks, and rhythmic energy for the Correfoc "Feuerfrau." This isn't just any fire run; it’s a powerful tribute to International Women’s Day, blending the ancient art of the "Correfoc" with a modern celebration of equality and female strength.

As you head to Plaza Mallorca in the heart of Inca, you'll feel the anticipation building. The "Feuerfrau" (Fire Woman) event is a spectacular procession where tradition meets activism. You will see the famous "dimonis" (devils) dancing through the crowds, wielding pitchforks that spray cascades of sparks into the night sky. The air will be thick with the smell of gunpowder and the thunderous beat of drums, creating an atmosphere that is both primal and exhilarating.

The lineup for the evening is truly impressive. You’ll be mesmerized by the "Mallorcan Witches" and the "Fire Demons," groups dedicated to preserving this fiery craft. Alongside them, a talented group of drummers from Inca will provide the heartbeat of the night, ensuring that the energy never dips. This event is a reenactment that honors the struggle for gender equality, making the "Feuerfrau" theme particularly poignant as Mallorca gears up for the global celebrations on March 8th.

If you’re planning to join the fun, safety is your top priority. To truly enjoy the experience without worry, you should follow the traditional dress code. Wear thick clothing made of natural fibers—like an old denim jacket and cotton trousers—to protect yourself from stray sparks. Avoid synthetic materials at all costs, as they can melt. Don’t forget closed-toe shoes, protective goggles, and perhaps a hat or scarf to cover your hair. Whether you choose to dance under the sparks with the devils or watch from a safe distance, the Correfoc "Feuerfrau" in Inca is an unforgettable experience. It’s a chance to see the soul of Mallorca in its most fiery form. Grab your gear, bring your friends, and get ready for a night of fire and rhythm!
