Primer Domingo de Mayo – Traditional May Festivities in Santa Eulàlia des Riu

Every year on the first Sunday in May, the coastal town of Santa Eulàlia des Riu bursts into life for one of Ibiza's most cherished and atmospheric traditional festivals — the beloved Primer Domingo de Mayo. On Sunday, 3 May 2026, the streets and squares of Santa Eulàlia will fill with colourful floral displays, traditional Ibizan folk dancing (ball pagès), vintage car parades, artisan markets along the iconic Passeig de s'Alamera, and open-air concerts featuring local and guest musicians. The festivities span several weeks of cultural programming including art exhibitions, performing arts shows, and family activities, making this one of the most enriching cultural experiences in Ibiza in May 2026. Rooted in a centuries-old legend about the founding of the town's first chapel, the Primer Domingo de Mayo celebration captures the warmth and spirit of authentic Ibizan life — and is an unmissable cultural event for anyone visiting Santa Eulàlia des Riu this spring.
