The correfoc of Sant Sebastià in Palma under the title ‘Correfoc de Dimonis i Bèsties’ will put the finishing touch to the Palma festivities of 2024. It is scheduled for Sunday from 19:00 until approximately 21:15. The activities of this last festive weekend will be diversified at two points: the Plaça de la Reina and the Pont de sa Riera, from Passeig Mallorca and in the direction of Avinguda Jaume III, with identical starting times.
Thus, the Plaça de la Reina will host the ‘encesa de bèsties de foc’, with four groups taking part: Drac i Guardians de Sant Jordi; Realment Cremats i s’Òliba de la Real; Es Drac de na Coca, and Ses Germanies.
The format consists of setting up a central stage on which a batucada will perform, while the pyrotechnics assembly area will be located behind the stage.
In this place, a static ‘correfoc’ will take place, alternating the performances of the ‘bèsties de foc’ and where the group of ‘dimonis’ of Ses Germanies will burn.
