The programming of ‘Eivissa, Christmas Town’ continues this weekend with one of its most anticipated events: Eivicadabra, the festival that once again turns the capital into a stage of illusion and family entertainment. In its third edition, the event consolidates its goal of bringing professional magic to the public of the island with proposals designed for all ages.
Jandro headlines a lineup of local and international talent
Among the most prominent names is the well-known magician and comedian Jandro, a regular figure on television and with an international career. His show will be one of the five that Eivicadabra offers for free in the tent set up for the occasion, with free access until full capacity is reached.
The artistic line-up also includes Patricia Zener, Mandalux, Lola Mento and David Naváez, reinforcing what the Councilor of Culture, Carmen Domínguez, points out as an “unusual” bet for the female presence in the world of magic.
The program also incorporates paid shows with reduced capacity and artists of international prestige. Highlights include the Rubio & S Duo, runners-up in the world of magic; Miguel Muñoz and Nacelia Muñoz, finalist of Got Talent, as well as numbers of extreme escapism and clown awarded in national competitions. Tickets cost 20 euros and are available at the official channels of Culture of the City Council of Eivissa.
A Christmas photocall that will travel around the city
This Friday, December 5, the itinerant Christmas photocall will be inaugurated, a stage decorated with balloons designed for family photo sessions. It will be available from 16.00 to 20.00 h in the Plaça d’Antoni Albert i Nieto.
The Photocall will continue its tour:
-

The day is completed with live music at the Mercat Gastronòmic del passeig de Vara de Rey, where Miss Aránzazu and Omar Guzmán will perform at 1 pm, and Jessica Ros and Iván Roman at 8 pm. There will also be ‘El món dels castells inflables’ at parc Reina Sofia, from 5 to 8 pm, and the concert ‘Només guitarra’ by Mar Sánchez, at 8 pm at Can Ventosa.
Other highlights before Christmas
After last year’s success, the cavalcades de Pare Noel will return on December 23 and 24, at 10.30 am, from the port of Eivissa to the promenade of Vara de Rey.
This 2025 also incorporates a great novelty: Santa’s Band On The Road, a traveling Christmas music band with a fresh and rocker style that will tour several neighborhoods -Eivissa Centre, Can Escandell, ses Figueretes and Platja d’en Bossa- between 10.30 am and 2.30 pm, filling the streets with rhythm and festive atmosphere.
The little ones can enjoy the photocall with magical giant characters, available from 11.00 to 12.30 am in the Caseta de Pare Noel – Office 07800, in the Paseo de Vara de Rey. The mayor, Rafael Triguero, encourages citizens to come to take fun memories of these holidays.
The arrival of the Three Wise Men, New Year’s Eve and the Fira d’Atraccions (Attractions Fair)
The Cavalcada Reial on January 5 will begin at 6 p.m. with the disembarkation at the port, where the traditional adoration of the baby Jesus will take place. The city will once again provide inclusive spaces and areas with chairs for the elderly or people with sound sensitivity or reduced mobility.
