About this experience

Festivals in Cala Llonga is a seasonal programme of local celebrations held on the beachfront of Cala Llonga, Ibiza. The events include traditional saint's day fiestas, live music performances, and family-oriented activities that reflect the island's cultural calendar. Visitors join residents in the open-air setting of the bay, with the schedule running from late spring through early autumn.

What to expect

Traditional fiesta of Sant Joan in late June features a bonfire on the beach, live folk music, and a communal paella cooked in a large pan.
August's Virgen del Carmen procession sees a decorated fishing boat carry a statue of the saint along the bay, followed by fireworks over the water.
Weekly evening concerts from July to September take place on a temporary stage set up on the sand, with acts ranging from local rock bands to acoustic trios.
A children's fair operates for three days during the main fiesta, offering inflatable slides, face painting, and a mini funfair with 10 rides.
The closing night of each festival ends with a 15-minute firework display launched from the pier, visible from the entire beachfront promenade.
The events are free to attend and suit families, couples, and solo travellers who want to observe Ibizan customs without leaving the resort area.
