The third edition of the Sonorama festival in Ibiza is the biggest attraction on the island this weekend. For three days artists and groups like Natalia Lacunza, Arde Bogotá, La Bien Querida, Depedro, Mikel Erentxun, Iván Ferreiro and Shinova will perform on the Cala de Bou stage, in addition to the parallel activities.
But there are other highlights on the agenda, such as the season-opening concert of the Ciutat d’Eivissa Symphony Orchestra on Sunday or the last two shows of the Temporada de Dansa del Consell of Ibiza, ‘Abundance’ and ‘The language of the lines’.
This weekend also marks the beginning of the celebration of the 150th anniversary of the Mercat Vell de Vila with activities on Saturday and Sunday.
In addition there are activities of the festival programs of several localities, such as Cubells, La Mola or Sant Rafel, which begins its events this Friday with the reading of the proclamation and the awarding of the Forca de Fang prize.
And in Formentera an emblematic local, the Fonda Pepe of Sant Ferran, celebrates its 70th anniversary with party and live music this Friday. Congratulations.
