San Juan, La Palma's Night of Fire – La Nit de Foc, Mallorca 2027

San Juan's Night of Fire – La Nit de Foc – takes place each June against the impressive backdrop of Palma's Cathedral. The event features a combination of street parties, pop concerts, drummers, devils, demons and fireworks.

The Event

  • Next Edition: Wednesday 23rd June, 2027.
  • The festivities begin during the day, where you can find traditional food, local costumes, and dancing on the streets.
  • Once the sun sets, demons come out to the streets with their fire and light show, accompanied by people dancing to the beat of drums and flutes.

The Fire Run – El correfoc

  • La Nit de Foc is celebrated across Mallorca, with the most significant events taking place in the capital, La Palma. At its heart is the fire run or correfoc, where the ‘devils' run through the streets with firecrackers and fireworks; not for the fainthearted!
  • The event takes place in Palma's Parc de Mar by the cathedral from 22:30, followed by a midnight concert that lasts well into the early hours of the morning.
  • Other famous fire runs are held in Captepera (80km from Palma), Alaró (19km from Palma), Sóller (30km from Palma), and Mancor de la Vall (39km from Palma)
  • These small towns are well worth exploring during your visit to Mallorca, offering some amazing dining options, stunning natural beauty and charming boutique hotels and guest houses.

Gay events during the Night of Fire

  • Most of the gay bars in Palma host special theme nights and parties during the San Juan festivities.
  • The bars fill up early as people enjoy the lively atmosphere that spills onto the streets around Palma's Gomila district, along with the Av de Joan Miro, the city's de facto gay neighbourhood.
