Ibiza's Taxi Solidario Returns for Its Eighth Edition with a Fundraising Target of Up to €20,000

13 November 2026

Ibiza's taxi sector is preparing for another day of food, music and community spirit as Taxi Solidario returns to the island for its eighth edition on Saturday, 14 November. The annual charity gathering will take place at the Recinto Ferial de Ibiza, with the proceeds this year going to AFFARES, an association supporting people living with chronic and often invisible illnesses.

The organisers hope to raise between €15,000 and €20,000 through the event, which has become an established charitable initiative for taxi professionals across Ibiza.

The programme will bring together residents and families for a popular meal, live music, children's activities and a major raffle featuring more than 150 donated prizes from local businesses and collaborators.

The event begins at 14:00, and residents are being encouraged to attend and support the cause.

An Initiative Started by Ibiza's Taxi Drivers in 2019

Taxi Solidario began in 2019, when a group of taxi drivers from different municipalities across Ibiza decided to organise a charitable gathering that could support local causes.

What started as an initiative among colleagues has grown into an annual event involving an increasingly large network of drivers, their families, local businesses and residents.

Pepe, the initiative's founder, explained that the idea emerged through conversations with taxi colleagues from different parts of the island. Participation has continued to grow over the years.

According to his estimate, the eight editions held so far have generated more than €100,000 for different charitable causes.

The initiative gives the taxi sector an opportunity to contribute beyond its everyday transport services, bringing people together to raise money for associations and projects that support the local community.

AFFARES to Receive This Year's Fundraising Proceeds

The beneficiary of the 2026 edition is AFFARES, an association supporting people affected by fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome and other chronic conditions that can be difficult to see or understand from the outside.

The decision to support the association again was influenced by its financial difficulties and the need to secure resources to address outstanding debts.

According to Pepe, the organisers felt it was important to help because the association urgently needed financial support.

The collaboration also reflects the initiative's connection with local organisations. Taxi Solidario has previously supported AFFARES, and the collective decided to direct the proceeds to the association again this year.

For people living with chronic illnesses, organisations such as AFFARES can provide valuable support, guidance and companionship. The money raised through the event is intended to help the association continue its work.

Traditional Food, Live Music and More Than 150 Raffle Prizes

The eighth edition will offer a programme designed for families and residents of all ages.

Food will be at the centre of the gathering, with a traditional arroz de matanzas forming part of the popular meal. The menu also includes an appetiser, dessert and the traditional Ibizan café caleta.

Live entertainment will be provided by the local group Los del Varadero, adding music to the afternoon.

There will also be activities for children, including inflatable castles, while the main raffle will feature more than 150 gifts donated by businesses and collaborators from Ibiza.

In addition, two Christmas hampers will be raffled. One will benefit AFFARES, while the other will be organised for the taxi collective itself. This offers another way for people to contribute, including those who cannot attend the gathering in person.

The combination of traditional food, entertainment and fundraising has helped make Taxi Solidario a popular annual meeting for the island's taxi community and residents.

Organisers Hope to Raise Between €15,000 and €20,000

The fundraising target for this year's event is between €15,000 and €20,000.

The organisers are hoping to build on the results of previous editions. In 2025, the initiative raised more than €19,000 for the Asociación de Deporte Adaptado de Ibiza y Formentera (ADDIF).

The edition before that generated €22,000 for Ibiza IN.

Although the group has not set a fixed target, Pepe said that raising between €15,000 and €20,000 this year would already represent a successful result.

The figures demonstrate how the initiative has developed into a significant fundraising effort, with local residents and businesses contributing through attendance, donations and raffle prizes.

Local Businesses and Institutions Support the Event

Organising the event involves a network of volunteers and collaborators who help secure raffle prizes and gather much of the material required to prepare the communal meal.

Local establishments have also contributed to the initiative, while the Consell d'Eivissa supports the event by providing the exhibition-centre marquee at a substantial discount because of its charitable purpose.

This cooperation helps the organisers keep the event running while directing as much of the fundraising effort as possible towards the beneficiary association.

Pepe described the initiative as a meaningful way for the taxi sector to demonstrate its commitment to the island and support people and organisations that need assistance.

He has encouraged residents to come along, take part and enjoy the day while contributing to a good cause.
