Every day from 2 August 2025 until 15 August 2025
Where: Ibiza Town (Eivissa)
The Festes de la Terra (Festivals of the Land) are one of Ibiza's most important traditional celebrations, held every August. These festivities honour two key events:
- The patron saint of Ibiza Town, Saint Mary (Santa Maria) – celebrated on August 5th.
- The Catalan conquest of Ibiza – commemorated on August 8th, marking the date when Catalan troops led by Guillem de Montgrí reclaimed the island from Moorish rule in 1235.
This year Festes de la Terra begin on Saturday 2 August, 2025 along the pedestrianised Passeig de Vara de Rey in Ibiza Town with a local craft fair, a parade of traditional carts, and ball pagès (traditional folk dancing) performed by the Colla de Vila. In the evening, a Queen tribute concert in Parque Reina Sofía will mark the musical start of the celebrations.
Some highlights:
- Sunday 3 August 22:00, the Ciutat d’Eivissa Symphonic Band will offer its annual concert featuring local and classical pieces.
- Monday 4 August will be dedicated to families, with the show Atlantis, blending circus, theatre and music.
- Tuesday 5 August, the main day of the festivities, there will be a solemn mass, children’s activities, and from 22:30, live performances by Endèmics and Ressonadors in Parque Reina Sofía - one of the most eagerly anticipated concerts on the programme.
