Here are the best plans for the weekend on Ibiza and Formentera

The festive vibe continues throughtout the weekend with the new festival ‘Viu la Primavera’ in Sant Antoni. With a craft market over the two days in the Passeig de ses Fonts filled with music and street performances and accompanied by the gastronomy of the restaurants in the area. The City Council intends to revive the spirit of the Flower that could not be celebrated in January.

Sant Jordi, meanwhile, also celebrates its last two days of festivities this weekend with activities aimed especially at children and young people and a concert by the Petit Cor on Saturday in the church.

Dance will also take centre stage this weekend with the International Dance Day celebrations in the street. On Friday there will be a ballet barre in the Paseo de Vara de Rey and on Sunday, performances by the academies of Ibiza in parque Reina Sofia with special guests: Jorge Lamelas and Nerea Lopez.

And for those looking for great weekend atmosphere among friends, try Fun&Trucks on Sunday in the auditorium des Caló de s’Oli, with food trucks and live music. The gala awarding of the Mencions Sant Jordi of the Institut d’Estudis Eivissencs then follows. It’s a two in one.

And all this on the same weekend as the ‘openings’ of Ibiza’s nightclubs.

There is also cinema, concerts and storytelling, a new program of Itineraries through the Cultural Histroy of Vila and even the traditional Caramelles de Pasqua. Everything for the weekend is here:
