The best plans for the weekend in Ibiza and Formentera

Barruguet Festival is once again the main cultural draw in Santa Eulària this weekend and one of the highlights of the Pityusic agenda. From Friday to Sunday, the festival will fill the municipality’s streets, squares and cultural venues with an intense programme of theatre, circus, dance, puppetry, music and roaming performances designed for families. This is a particularly strong edition, with Saturday set to be the busiest day, featuring almost non-stop activities from morning to night between the Palau de Congressos, the Edifici de Cultura and several outdoor spaces.

The weekend will also be marked by the festivities in es Puig d’en Valls, which concentrate many of their events on Saturday and Sunday, with inflatables, exhibitions, crafts, rhythmic gymnastics displays, classic cars, a large community paella and musical performances such as the Canallas del Guateke concert and a set by Dea Tanit.

Another highlight is the music and dance show El viatge de Tinnit, which arrives on Friday night at the Can Ventosa auditorium with a proposal created by Arturo Pueyo and Lucía Cardona, inspired by the history of Ibiza.

Music will also play a major role throughout the weekend, especially on Saturday, with standout events including the Ànima llatina concert by the Can Blau Youth Band and the Sant Josep Municipal Band in es Cubells, the 50th anniversary party of Es Racó Verd in Sant Josep, a ZZ Top tribute in Cala de Bou and a performance by the Jove Big Band Sedajazz in Formentera. Flamenco, jazz, rock, folk and live music sessions will also be taking place across different venues in Ibiza and Formentera.

Coinciding with International Museum Day, Thursday, Friday and Saturday will include guided tours and special activities at the Archaeological Museum of Dalt Vila and the Puig des Molins Monographic Museum, which will open their doors with educational activities and exhibitions linked to the island’s historical heritage.

There will also be cinema, literature, talks, children’s activities, astronomy, hiking and cultural gatherings across Ibiza and Formentera. Everything is listed here:
