Ibiza fiestas, festivals and fairs
Top Ibiza fiestas and festivals
Ibiza's long history brings with it numerous traditional fairs and festivals
Ibiza may be better known for hedonistic nights and sunrise fiestas, luxurious beach clubs and loud music festivals. However, there's more to this island than you may think.
Most of the local fiestas are agricultural, historical or artisanal in nature and are well worth a visit as a part of your holiday.
We have listed some of the bigger annual events here. Festival programmes tend to be released about a week before the event and nightclubs usually announce their summer residencies throughout the winter and into the spring.
For a full round-up, please take a look at our events calendar and check any additional information closer to the time of the event.
