The best plans for the weekend in Ibiza and Formentera

Events marking the Dia de les Illes Balears dominate much of this weekend’s agenda in Ibiza and Formentera, with activities ranging from leisure and sport to gastronomy — particularly on Sunday, when official ceremonies will be held in Sant Jordi (Ibiza) and Sant Francesc (Formentera).

Ibiza’s Andalusian community will also mark Andalucía Day on Saturday, with live performances and a traditional 'arròs de matances' at the Centro Cultural Cervantes in Sant Antoni de Portmany.

Film enthusiasts have an important date with the closing days of the alternative film festival Ibizacinefest, with screenings across several venues.

In theatre, Ibiza welcomes Lolita Flores this Thursday with the play 'Poncia', currently touring theatres across Spain. The performance takes place at Can Ventosa.

Music lovers can look forward to several highlights, including two concerts in the ‘Dies Musicals’ series — Friday in Santa Eulària des Riu and Sunday in Sant Antoni — as well as a performance in the ‘Ones de Llum’ cycle on Saturday in Santa Agnès de Corona.

There is also space for comedy, book events and family entertainment, with the show 'Dreaming Bubbles' on Saturday and Sunday at the Teatro Pereyra.
