Located in the serene countryside of Ibiza, the village of San José (Sant Josep de sa Talaia) becomes a hub of activity every March for the Festes de Sant Josep. This lively festival honours Saint Joseph, the patron saint of workers and families, blending religious traditions with the joy of spring’s arrival.

True to Ibiza’s spirit, the festival features traditional colles de ball pagès folk dances alongside contemporary music performances. The beloved Flower Power Party celebrates Ibiza’s hippie heritage, inviting attendees to don floral attire and revel in an atmosphere of peace and love.
Artisans and Activities
Throughout the festival, San José transforms into a bustling marketplace. Handcrafted goods, local delicacies like ensaimadas, and carnival games for children create a lively, family-friendly atmosphere. Don’t miss the thrilling Correfoc, where fire-wielding "dimonis" (demons) light up the streets in a spectacular display.
Inclusive and Sustainable
With varied activities including art exhibitions, sports competitions like the Trail Race sa Talaia, and workshops on traditional crafts, the festival ensures everyone feels welcome. Sustainability is also a focus, with organisers promoting eco-friendly practices such as reusable cups and waste reduction.

As the island of Ibiza begins to transition from winter to spring, March brings a host of festivals and events that celebrate its unique culture, heritage, and natural beauty. From historical commemorations to lively village fiestas, there’s something for everyone to enjoy during this magical month.
Dia de les Illes Balears
Date: 1st March 2025 | 01/03/25
On March 1, Ibiza joins its sister islands—Mallorca, Menorca, and Formentera—in celebrating Dia de les Illes Balears, or Balearic Islands Day. This annual holiday marks the 1983 Statute of Autonomy, a milestone in the islands’ history that granted them recognition as an autonomous community within Spain.
In Ibiza, the day is a celebration of the island’s rich heritage. Expect artisan markets showcasing local crafts, traditional ball pagès dance performances, live music, and gastronomic fairs. Highlights include the Firas del Producte Local, where you can discover local treasures like Ibizan salt, olive oil, and the famed hierbas ibicencas liqueur. Families can enjoy workshops, sports competitions, and children’s activities, while many public buildings open their doors for free guided tours. You will also find quite a few fireworks displays throughout the island to mark the occasion.
Whether you’re sampling delicious sobrassada, watching a captivating dance performance, or simply soaking in the festive atmosphere, Balearic Islands Day is a perfect opportunity to immerse yourself in Ibiza’s cultural identity.
