The patron saint festivities of Ibiza are the ultimate representation of our gastronomy, culture, history and how we like to get together to celebrate.
Although each municipality and town has a different atmosphere, there is one thing that unites us all: the desire to share and have fun.
And we want you to be part of it!
Discovering “es día gros”
This is how we refer to the town's main festivals, specifically the corresponding saint's day.
In most towns the festivals last between 3 and 4 weeks, with the "día gros" as the central axis.
What will you find in general? Various activities for adults and children, lots of music, traditional food, games, ball Pagés, sporting events, theatre performances...
Regardless of the municipality you visit, we are sure that you will enjoy our town festivals like never before; There is nothing better to discover the character of each town in depth.
Do you dare to discover them?
