About this experience

Festivals in San Antonio is a seasonal programme of open-air celebrations held in the town of San Antonio, Ibiza, centred on the seafront promenade and main squares. The events run from late spring through early autumn, featuring live music, traditional dances, and local food stalls. Each festival is organised by the town council and attracts both residents and visitors.

What to expect

The programme includes the Fiestas de San Antonio in June, with a procession of the town's patron saint and a firework display over the bay.
Evening concerts on the promenade feature local balearic rock and folk bands, with sets lasting from 9pm to midnight.
Traditional ibicencan dances, such as the ball pagès, are performed by costumed groups on the main square stage.
Food stalls sell local specialities like sobrasada, flaó, and ensaimada, alongside wine from the island's vineyards.
The closing event in September includes a children's parade with giant puppets and a communal paella lunch in the port area.
Each festival lasts between two and four days, with most activities free to attend and suitable for families.
