Patronal Festivals in Transition: Drones Instead of Rockets — Safety vs. Tradition

Answer

Why are fireworks often reduced in Mallorca during hot summer weather?

Hot, dry conditions increase the fire risk across Mallorca, especially in towns near forests or in the Serra de Tramuntana. Under those conditions, municipalities may decide to cut back on fireworks or cancel them entirely. Safety checks now play a much bigger role in festival planning than they used to.
