If you are in Ibiza this weekend and searching for a family plan that combines local flavour, open-air fun and a beautiful natural setting, the II Fira de es Peix de sa Cala (a fish fair) is just what you need. Taking place this Saturday, 26 April 2025, in the peaceful village of Sant Vicent de sa Cala, this charming event is one of the best family plans on the island this weekend.
Organised by the Ajuntament de Sant Joan, this fair is a celebration of traditional Ibizan culture, fresh seafood and sustainable living. It is designed for everyone, from food lovers to culture seekers, and is especially ideal for families with children looking to enjoy a relaxed and authentic day out.
A family plan in nature and culture
Sant Vicent de sa Cala, nestled in Ibiza’s northeast, is a quiet village known for its rural charm and scenic beauty. On Saturday, it will become the island’s most vibrant gathering place for a fair full of flavour and tradition.
From 12 PM, food stalls will be serving delicious seafood dishes, all prepared using locally sourced ingredients. Many recipes feature ‘Peix Nostrum’, a label that guarantees the fish was caught using sustainable, traditional methods by Ibizan fishermen. With prices capped at €10 per tapa or dish, it is a great option for families looking for a quality family plan that will not break the budget.
Entertainment for all ages
What makes this event the ideal family plan is its inclusive and welcoming atmosphere. Children will find plenty to enjoy, including games, creative workshops and dedicated entertainment areas. Meanwhile, adults can sample a wide range of local dishes, explore artisan stalls and take in live music and traditional performances.
A highlight of the fair is the ‘ball pagès’, the traditional folk dance of Ibiza. Scheduled for midday, the performance by Colla de Balansat is a colourful, rhythmic expression of local identity and a great way to introduce children to the cultural roots of the island.
A culinary competition and artisan market
For those who enjoy cooking, the fair hosts a culinary competition open to the public. Entrants are invited to present their own seafood-based dishes, with special recognition for recipes featuring ‘Peix Nostrum’. It is a fun and friendly way to showcase home cooking and a chance for families to see creative cooking in action.
Alongside the food, a local artisan market will fill the streets with handmade goods such as jewellery, ceramics, textiles and island delicacies. It is the perfect spot to find a thoughtful souvenir or a locally made gift while supporting Ibiza’s small producers and artists.
Sustainable values behind the festivities
This family plan also offers a chance to learn. The fair places strong emphasis on sustainability, with information stands explaining the importance of responsible fishing and marine conservation. Children and adults alike can gain insight into where food comes from and how their choices impact the environment.
By promoting ‘Peix Nostrum’ and traditional fishing practices, the fair supports local fishermen and helps preserve the island’s ecological balance. It is an event where enjoyment and education go hand in hand, another reason why it is one of the top family plans this weekend in Ibiza.
