The beaches of ses Figueretes and Talamanca will again be full of party this Sunday to celebrate the summer solstice, the longest night of the year, with dancing, music and distribution of the traditional macarrons de Sant Joan, the typical dessert of Ibiza on this date. Not quite with fire. As was done last year, the popular bonfires can only be lit on the beach of ses Figueretes, in Talamanca will be prohibited because of the proximity of forest areas, on a night that is usually very hot.
The program, with activities for all ages has been presented this Wednesday by the Councillor for Festivities and Citizen Participation of the City Council of Ibiza, Francisco Torres, and representatives of the neighborhood associations of ses Figueretes, Talamanca, Platja d’en Bossa and San Pablo, because the party will be extended this weekend by different neighborhoods of the city.
On the beaches the events will begin at 5:00 p.mwith bouncy castles by Cachirulo and his friends in ses Figueretes and children’s workshops in Talamanca. At 7 p.m. the music will start, in the first one the dj D-Ramones will be in charge of livening up the atmosphere and in the second one Pablo Balenciano. At 8 pm there will be concerts, Simple Rock in ses Figueretes and Esta me la sé, with their versions of well-known songs from different eras, in Talamanca.
Those with a sweet tooth will have their moment around 9 p.m., when the distribution of macarrons de Sant Joan is scheduled, the pasta-based dessert that has as many recipes as there are houses in Ibiza. 250 free dishes will be distributed.
The music played by dj’s will continue during the tasting and until 10.30 pm, when two fire shows are scheduled in both beaches of the city.
The difference will be in the fire. In ses Figueretes will be given permission to family groups or friends to make 200 holes in the sand in which to light their foguerons and will be distributed up to 250 kilos of firewood to feed them and that everyone who wishes can jump on them to purify themselves and attract fortune and good vibes for the next twelve months.
In addition, on the beach of ses Figueretes there will be several areas adapted for people with functional diversity and for the elderly, as well as 30 helmets for those who need them. There will also be 50 accessible chairs available on a first-come, first-served basis from 7 pm to midnight. These areas will be located next to the stage of the Plaza Julià Verdera and there will be volunteers to assist everyone who does not need them.
For better accessibility on the beaches the City Council of Ibiza has arranged two bus routes with round trip routes from 19 to 1 hours and continuous periodicity:
– L1 (80 places): Sa Joveria – Multicines – ses Figueretes – Multicines – Sa Joveria
