Correfoc Fire Show and Concert -San José Patron Saint Day

The picturesque town of San José invites locals and visitors to partake in a vibrant celebration of its patron saint, St. Joseph, on 19 March, coinciding with Father’s Day in Spain. This enriching cultural event, stretching over several weeks, encompasses an array of activities tailored for all ages, merging tradition with communal joy.

Attendees are treated to performances by the Grup Folkloric Sant Josep de sa Talaia and Grupo Álvaro Cunqueiro, offering a taste of Ibiza’s rich cultural heritage. The local government and parish workers generously offer wine and orelletes to the public, creating a warm, communal atmosphere. The evening brings the streets alive with Rag & Bone by the Xip Xap Theatre, an itinerant street theatre for families, filled with puppets, laughter, and surprises. Music lovers can enjoy concerts by Calle Bogaloo and the renowned Ibicenco band Projecte Mut, returning to the stage for a night of exhilarating performances.
