Book Day in Ibiza: author signing schedules

Ibiza Town Council has launched a new edition of Book Day to mark Sant Jordi, this Thursday 23 April, with a range of reading-related activities and a central event on Vara de Rey promenade, where there will be book stalls, author signings, rose sales and other cultural initiatives.

More than 25 authors will attend the stands to sign copies of their latest publications throughout the day. Several florists will also offer the traditional Sant Jordi rose, according to the Town Hall.

The programme will begin at 10am on Vara de Rey, with various book stalls offering a special 10% discount, an open-air library area, storytelling sessions and ball pagès (traditional Ibizan dance) to close the day, featuring the city’s two folk groups.

“In a world where audiovisual content and screens dominate most of our attention, it is more important than ever to remember the transformative power of reading, books and culture in the development of our society. Making reading and books the main protagonists in Ibiza Town for an entire day is excellent news, and we will continue working to ensure they play an even bigger role, especially among younger people”, said Councillor for Culture Carmen Domínguez.

Book Day celebrations will continue on Friday 24 April in Sant Antoni, where the Passeig de ses Fonts will host the traditional book and rose stalls.
