Fiestas de Jesús Ibiza 2026: What Is Still Happening From September 9 to September 27

9 September 2026

The Fiestas de Jesús continue through September with a programme of cultural, religious, sporting and community events taking place in and around the village of Jesús.

After the main patron saint's day on September 8, the celebrations continue with activities for older residents, a shooting competition, a book presentation, traditional music, an environmental activity, a folklore festival and several sporting and family events.

The festivities are organised by the Comissió de Festes de Jesús, with the collaboration of Santa Eulària des Riu Town Hall and the Consell de Ibiza. The full programme runs until Sunday, September 27.

Thursday, September 10: Beekeeping and Dancing

The first remaining event after the main celebrations takes place on Thursday, September 10.

At 10:30am, the Centre Cultural de Jesús will host "Mel de Ca'n Marí", a talk about beekeeping aimed at older residents.

The session will be followed by a tasting of different types of honey from Ibiza, giving participants the opportunity to learn about local beekeeping while also sampling products from the island.

The activity is organised by the Department of Social Welfare and requires registration by telephone.

The day will continue at 8:00pm with dancing at the local Club de Mayores, providing a more relaxed community event for older residents.

Saturday, September 12: Sport, Literature and Local Music

Saturday, September 12 brings together three very different activities.

At 4:00pm, the Campo de Tiro will host the Fiestas de Jesús clay shooting championship.

Later, at 8:00pm, the Centre Cultural de Jesús will host the presentation of the book "Vendes i Pous, Jesús i es Puig d'en Valls".

The book was written by Josep Joan i Marí, known as Pep Xomeu, and published by Edicions Aïllades. The publication includes photographs by Ramon Mayol.

The presentation will be introduced by Margalida Roig and will include the author and publisher.

At 9:00pm, the church will host "Popejant, un tast de pop", a concert by the Cor des Pla de Jesús.

The evening therefore combines sport, local history and music within just a few hours.

Sunday, September 13: Blessing of Children

The following Sunday will focus on a religious tradition.

At 12:00pm, the church will host a mass and blessing for newborn children and recently baptised children, with the participation of Sa Colla de l'Horta.

At 8:00pm, another mass will take place at the Campo de Tiro in honour of the Mare de Déu de Jesús.

The day's programme provides a quieter continuation of the celebrations after the larger musical and cultural events earlier in the week.

Thursday, September 17: Dancing for Older Residents

The programme returns to the Club de Mayores on Thursday, September 17.

A community dancing session is scheduled for 8:00pm.

The event continues the emphasis on activities for older residents that has featured throughout the fiestas, providing an informal opportunity for the local community to come together.

Friday, September 18: Restoring Vegetation in Sa Mota

On Friday, September 18, the fiestas take an environmental turn.

At 6:00pm, an activity will be held to help recover vegetation at Sa Mota de sa Sénia de Can Siré.

The environmental work will be accompanied by a traditional dance performance from Sa Colla de l'Horta.

The event combines conservation with local cultural traditions, making it one of the more distinctive activities remaining on this year's programme.

Sunday, September 20: Mare Nostrum Folklore Festival

Sunday, September 20 brings an international touch to Jesús.

At 12:45pm, the village square will host a performance by the Danzantes y Dulzaineros de Gallur from Zaragoza, alongside Sa Colla de l'Horta.

The performance forms part of the 28th Festival Folklórico de Ibiza Mare Nostrum.

The festival is organised by the Federació de Colles de Ball i Cultura Popular d'Eivissa, with sponsorship from the Consell de Ibiza and collaboration from Santa Eulària Town Hall.

The event will give the village an opportunity to showcase Ibiza's own traditional culture alongside folklore from mainland Spain.

Saturday, September 26: Mountain Biking and Youth Activities

The final weekend begins with a strong sporting and youth focus.

At 5:00pm on Saturday, September 26, the 18th BTT Fiestas de Jesús will take place at Can Lluís de sa Rota.

The mountain-bike event is organised by Es Xebel·lí and forms part of the longstanding sporting programme associated with the fiestas.

From 6:00pm until 9:30pm, the village square will then host "Joves al Carrer", a series of youth activities designed to bring younger residents together.

The combination gives the final Saturday a clear focus on outdoor activity and younger generations.

Sunday, September 27: Children's Gymkhana

The fiestas officially conclude on Sunday, September 27.

The final event begins at 10:00am at Can Lluís de sa Rota with the 11th Children's Gymkhana.

Organised by Es Xebel·lí, the activity provides a family-friendly finale after a month of events.

It closes the 2026 Fiestas de Jesús with an activity specifically designed for children and families.

The Fiestas Continue Beyond the Main Celebration

Although September 8 is the principal day of the Fiestas de Jesús, the programme deliberately continues for several weeks afterwards.

The remaining schedule moves away from the major concerts and processions of the central celebration and towards community activities, sport, culture, environmental work and family events.

That approach reflects the character of the fiestas as more than a single religious celebration.

A More Local Side of the Fiestas

The post-September 8 programme offers a particularly strong insight into the community aspect of Jesús.

There are activities for older residents, a local book launch, traditional music, environmental restoration and children's events.

The inclusion of these activities ensures that the festivities remain relevant to residents rather than being focused exclusively on large public celebrations.

Culture Remains at the Centre

Traditional music and local heritage continue to feature prominently.

The Cor des Pla de Jesús, Sa Colla de l'Horta and the visiting group from Gallur all contribute to a programme that keeps traditional culture visible alongside contemporary activities.

The book presentation on September 12 also adds another layer, documenting aspects of Jesús and Puig d'en Valls through local writing and photography.

Sport Is Another Major Theme

Sport also runs throughout the final weeks.

The clay shooting championship on September 12, the BTT Fiestas de Jesús on September 26 and the children's gymkhana on September 27 provide opportunities for different age groups to participate.

The programme demonstrates how sporting activities have become an established part of Ibiza's village fiestas.

An Environmental Activity Included in the Programme

The vegetation-recovery event on September 18 is particularly notable because it connects the local festival with environmental stewardship.

Instead of treating the fiestas solely as entertainment, organisers have included an activity aimed at improving a local natural area.

Combining that work with a traditional dance performance creates a direct link between the protection of the island's landscape and its cultural heritage.

The Final Weeks Are Family and Community Focused

As the programme moves towards September 27, the emphasis increasingly shifts towards activities designed for residents.

Youth events, children's activities, dancing for older people and traditional celebrations give the final part of the fiestas a strong community character.

It also means that people who missed the main day on September 8 still have plenty of opportunities to experience the celebrations.

Fiestas de Jesús Continue Until September 27

The 2026 Fiestas de Jesús are not over after the main celebration.

From September 10 onwards, Jesús still has a full programme covering beekeeping, dancing, sport, literature, religious ceremonies, environmental restoration, folklore, mountain biking and children's activities.

The final event will take place on September 27, bringing a month-long programme of community celebrations to an end.

For residents and visitors looking for a different side of Ibiza in September, the remaining programme offers a chance to experience Jesús through local traditions, culture, nature and community life rather than simply the island's better-known summer attractions.
