Merry Christmas from Ibiza

The programme for the festive season in Ibiza town has at last been announced

The programme for the festive season in Ibiza town has at last been announced by the Mayor, Lurdes Costa and the Councillor of Fiestas (what a job!) Sandra Mayans.

They're spending a bit less this year, €300k, but starting earlier. The big kick off when the Christmas lights are switched on takes place on 1st December this year – normally we have to wait until the big public holidays on the 6th and 8th.

The Vara de Rey lights


All the old favourites are back, the Christmas market and art supermarket in the Vara de Rey, the Nativity scene in the Plaza del Parque, and four enormous Christmas trees in the Vara de Rey, Parque de la Paz, Playa den Bossa and the Plaza del Parque.


We've picked out the highlights for you below.
1 Dec 18.00 – The big switch on in the Vara de Rey and Plaza del Parque
5 Dec 10.00 – Christmas market opens, Vara de Rey
16 Dec 19.30 – Christmas concert by the Ibiza Symphony Orchestra, Can Ventosa cultural centre
