Fire Fair

[andrew711]

Not sure how well this has been publicised, if at all, but tomorrow (16 October) is the first Fira del Foc (fire fair) in Pollensa town. From 8 in the evening till well into the morning. Fire runs, demons, music, the whole lot.

I saw something but it was a new one on me - presume its first year as I dont think I have seen it advertised before - sounds like a version of San Antonio fiestas in which case wow, it could be fun!! Anyone know anymore???

Is this the one that Sea captain posted some video on or was that something else?

No GG Toni in El Posito said it is the first time but it is also on tomorrow night.

Andrew Ede has written a brilliant blog about this today - see alcudiapollensa: Foc You: Event publicity & sums up my frustration at the lack of event promotion entirely - although I'm afraid I'm not as articulate as he is. Do read it!

Very interesting reading, everybody here will agree 100% with Andrew it is so frustrating .

I cant seem to log into it, they appear to have it shut down!

Try searching for Pollenca Mallorca inn the search box at the top of the Facebook page - they come up as a person and the photos were posted this morning. Hope it works

I had no problem at all but it may be because Pollenca Mallorca is one of my friends.

That looks great! Should have been publicized more I think
