Everything you can do to enjoy the 'Nit de Sant Joan' in Ibiza and Formentera

Ibiza and Formentera are getting ready to celebrate the 'Nit de Sant Joan' this Tuesday, 23 June, one of the most eagerly awaited nights in the festive calendar. Fire, music, local traditions and popular celebrations will take over different parts of the islands in a night that marks the symbolic start of summer.

For visitors, it is one of the best opportunities to experience Ibiza beyond its beaches and nightlife: village squares, bonfires, traditional dancing, live music, family activities and local food come together in a celebration deeply rooted in island culture.

The main focus will once again be Sant Joan, where the programme includes concerts, batucada, DJ sessions and the much-anticipated lighting of the nou foguerons at midnight. There will also be a festive atmosphere in Ibiza Town, with events in Talamanca, ses Figueretes, ses Figueres and sa Punta, including live music, DJs, family activities and the traditional macarrons de Sant Joan.

In Formentera, the celebration will take place in El Pilar de la Mola, with concerts, a communal barbecue and the lighting of the bonfires.

The programme also extends to other areas such as Ca n’Escandell, Santa Eulària, es Puig d’en Valls, Santa Gertrudis and es Cubells, with activities for all ages, from 'ball pagès', concerts and children’s workshops to bonfires, 'café caleta', traditional activities and correfocs.

With dozens of events spread across both islands, the 'Nit de Sant Joan' will once again bring thousands of people together around fire, music and the traditions that mark the beginning of summer in Ibiza.
