During the festival´s days the alleys of the Old Town (Dalt Vila) turn to a giant open street theater that invite the crowd to watch singing and playing music shows, street theater performances, dance shows side by side with exhibitions of bird tamers, viewing handcraft artists, silver jewelers, chocolate creators and many more attractions.
It’s an entertaining cultural event that attracts over 100,000 visitors every year over three days of festivities.
The extraordinarily beautiful city walls and the fortified part of the city are considered by UNESCO to be the most well-preserved acropolis in the entire Mediterranean. Its impressive gateways and battlements welcome visitors and are turned into the setting for concerts, plays and a wide programme of events taking place from morning to night all through the weekend. Children and adults, tourists and residents, friends and families – nobody wants to miss out on the great atmosphere, lovely weather, fantastic views over the sea and the harbour, plus the live music that always accompanies the celebrations.
Walking round Dalt Vila during the Medieval Fair takes you on a journey into the past and reminds you that Ibiza has always known how to absorb the legacy left behind by many different cultures while keeping its own deeply-rooted customs and traditions very much alive. The Medieval Fair is a date with the island’s history but it is also a sign of renewed enthusiasm for the festive, cosmopolitan and multicultural nature that has made Ibiza so famous all over the world.
