San Jordi flea market
Taking place every Saturday from now until the end of December, San Jordi flea market or car boot sale is a fun spot whether you are searching for bargains or simply enjoy socialising (the terrace of the bar is popular with drummers and it's not unheard of for DJs to play!)
Las Dalias Saturday & Sunday

Outdoor Pursuits

Patron Saint Festivities
Ibiza Fiestas: Santa Gertrudis

To commemorate its patron saint, this charming village of Santa Gertrudis - located in the centre of the island - is hosting a range of fun activities for all ages including concerts, games, sporting and cultural events.
Just prior to the start of the festivities, the 13th edition of the Sobrassada road race (the sausage race!) features two races, a 1km “mini” race at 17:00 followed by a 21km night race. Exact date still to be confirmed.
Clubbing
Things get a bit quieter now (considerably so, compared to even the start of October). That said, if you seek intimate, lively dancefloors, Ibiza still has party options at the weekend.
Club Chinois in Ibiza Marina closes with part two of TRIP's farewell on Saturday 4 November. Venerable selectors Ricardo Villalobos and Sonja Moonear are the DJs bringing the curtain down on a staggering 30th consecutive week. Early-entry tickets are now on sale at only €35.
In Ibiza's north, Las Dalias boutique club space Akasha celebrates its second anniversary on the same night, with Yulia Niko and Unders joining Igor Marijuan. The programme also includes another visit of TEN Ibiza and the second of two confirmed Playground Burning Man fundraisers.

Then from 17 November, Namasté starts its winter run, switching to Fridays where it returns weekly until the end of the year as club-only (no garden). Los Suruba and Karuna are locked for the first date, with the rest of the line-ups announced closer to their respective dates.
