Here are the best plans for this weekend in Ibiza and Formentera

Like the previous weekend, this weekend is all about theatre, firstly with the play ‘Pared’, by the company Rita Luna, with three sessions at Can Ventosa. And then three plays as part of the Pedro Cañestro amateur theatre season: on Friday ‘Carnaval‘, on Saturday ‘El festeig de Can Panxo’ and on Sunday ‘Llarg dinar de Nadal’ .

Another key event on the weekend is the Fun & Trucks, which is held on Sunday in es Caló de s’Oli, with food trucks, a concert, music and activities for children, making it a party the whole family can enjoy.

Also of note is the storytelling festival Festicontes in Santa Eulària with shows over the next few days, and the start of the fiestas of Sant Francesc, on Formentera, and Forada, on Ibiza.

The Christmas programme is also kicking off in the different municipalities.
