WHAT HAPPENS
The shape of it
The guerra de bales
Two huge round straw bales are hauled up into the village, then unbound for the great straw-and-water battle — the festival's riotous centrepiece.
Mobylette games
Vintage mopeds, straw and threshing gear turn the morning into a playful nod to the Pla de Mallorca's farming roots.
Dinar popular
The village sits down together for a shared popular lunch of traditional fideus, between the games and the afternoon battle.
Pregó, glosa & DJ
An opening pregó and glosa set the day off; a DJ party and the closing amollada de traca send it out with a bang.

Before you go
Get to the plaça de Sencelles for the 11:20 start.
Wear old clothes you don't mind getting soaked and covered in straw — the finale is a full straw-and-water battle.
An all-ages, whole-village festa born as a community neofesta — everyone joins in.
