Las Dalias Night Market in August: music, crafts and great vibes
Get ready for a magical experience under the starry skies of northern Ibiza. In August, Las Dalias Night Market brings together live music, local crafts, boho fashion and gastronomy. Here’s a complete guide to help you make the most of this famous island gem.
What it is and why it’s so popular
A bohemian oasis with history
First opened in 1985, Las Dalias began as a small hippie market set in the gardens of San Carlos. Today it’s a cultural icon, with over 300 stalls and an atmosphere celebrating art, music and handcrafted treasures.
A more intimate and magical night version
In summer it transforms into its night version to avoid the daytime heat. The Night Market is a more relaxed take on the daytime market, with over a hundred stalls (many exclusive to the evenings), carefully selected for quality and originality.
When it’s on, how to get there and what to expect
Dates and opening times in August
- Every Sunday, Monday and Tuesday.
- August opening hours: 19:00 to 00:00.
Location and how to get there
Located in San Carlos (km 12 on the Ibiza–San Carlos road), it’s easy to reach by car, taxi or bus from areas such as Santa Eulària.
What to expect when you arrive
A lively, welcoming atmosphere for all: fairy lights, live music (acoustic sets and DJs on certain nights), stalls with crafts, boho fashion, unique jewellery and chill-out spots for enjoying food or a cocktail.
A unique blend of hippies, live music and local design
The hippie vibe blends with contemporary design trends: unique creations, free spirit energy and open-air music that make you feel part of something authentic and special.
Shopping among lights, aromas and sounds
Authentic crafts, boho fashion and souvenirs worth taking home
You’ll find everything from handmade leather bags and boho clothing to artisan jewellery and original decorative pieces. Quality takes precedence over quantity, with items truly worth taking home. Prices vary, but generally range from mid to high.
Tips for finding the best stalls
- Arrive early, especially on Sundays when it gets busier.
- Explore every corner: many stalls are exclusive to the Night Market and hide real gems.
- Chat with the artisans – they can share the story behind each piece and help you discover authentic trends.
- Bring cash: while more stalls now take card payments, it’s not yet the norm. Withdraw cash beforehand or use the ATM in San Carlos, just a short walk away.
Live music, DJs and food for all tastes
Live music programme, food trucks and cocktails
The Night Market’s soundtrack is as varied as the island itself: live music, DJs from around the world and occasional special events on the terrace of Akasha, the indoor club at Las Dalias. Highlights in August include Ky-Mani Marley on 14 August and Macaco on 28 August, with doors opening at 20:00 and shows starting at 21:00. On Monday and Tuesday nights, Akasha stays open until 05:00 for the Peace N’ Music party.
Food-wise, you can enjoy everything from wood-fired artisan pizzas to vegan options such as falafel wraps or quinoa bowls. Cocktail stands also shine here, serving fresh mojitos, fruity sangrias and creative mixes.
Perfect for friends or a romantic date
- With friends: a laid-back atmosphere, good music and relaxed beats for chatting, dancing or discovering new flavours.
- As a couple: soft lighting, warm summer air and an intimate vibe make it the perfect romantic evening plan.
