For a day focused on local heritage, the Fira de la Sal is one of the main highlights, with workshops, traditional food, artisan stalls and live music in Sant Jordi. Santa Eulària's Fira d'Estocs and Tapaví combine shopping, tapas and street performances for a full day in the town centre.

Visitors interested in wellness can choose the outdoor activities at Juntos Farm or the afternoon masterclass at the Ibiza Conference Centre. Jazz Point Ibiza offers two concerts, while Formentera combines mountain biking, Tardor d'Art and the Trans October programme.

For art lovers, the Picarol retrospective, MARE marine photography exhibition and the new exhibition by Lidia Abril provide opportunities to explore Ibiza's creative side. Las Dalias and Mercat de Forada offer additional market experiences, subject to the weather.

In the evening, Sa Breix in Sant Rafel and the Festes del Pilar in Formentera provide traditional community activities. Jazz Point, live music around the island and the season-closing events add further options.

The main priority is to check for weather-related changes before setting out. With several outdoor events potentially affected by heavy rain and storms, the most enjoyable plan is one that combines confirmed indoor activities with outdoor options only when organisers have verified that they are proceeding.

Saturday, October 17, still offers a rich snapshot of Ibiza and Formentera in autumn, from salt-making traditions and local gastronomy to contemporary art, sport, wellness and international music.
