Santa Claus has a very busy schedule in the coming days on Eivissa and Formentera Until the 24th he will visit almost all the villages of Eivissa and Formentera to collect the requests of the little ones, in meetings that in many cases will include shows, workshops and snacks. In Sant Antoni the beats of DJ Vázquez from La Movida will say farewell to the day.
One of the most notable events is the celebration of ‘Feim Barri, Feim Nadal’ in the paseo de Vara de Rey in Vila, with a Christmas atmosphere every day until Saturday, with storytellers, chocolate and workshops to entertain the families.
There are also several Christmas carols performances, workshops for Salsa de Nadal or living nativity scenes such as the one planned for Sunday 25th in the church of Sant Josep
Another great Christmas plan is the traditional play in English ‘Dinner for One’ which is performed every year by the Peña Escénica at the Teatro España and will be performed again on Friday.
And the events that aren’t strictly Christmas related, two concerts stand out on Saturday, the Sobrassada Rock, with Niños Raros (Eivissa) and Banda Neón (Barcelona) on Friday in Sant Josep and the same day at MACE, ‘Ble de safrà i altres espècies’, by Miquel Àngel Aguiló and Yaron Marko
