Here is our list of all national and local holidays on Ibiza. Banks and offices across the island are closed on major national holidays, but only in the specific village or municipality on local holidays. Many shops and most supermarkets stay open, especially during the summer season.
In the weeks around the Patron Saint's day there is often a whole programme of events in the villages and towns of Ibiza, with a small fun fair, concerts, workshops, sport competitions and more.
