When the “Formentera Flower”, one of the most hotly anticipated events on the summer calendar hits the island this Saturday, July 21, as part of this year's Sant Jaume celebrations, it will bring with it a host of performers including DJs Pharma, Blue and Javi Box and Jam Factory.

The real party kicks off at 11.00pm in plaça de la Constitució, though that won't be the first event of the night—that's the “Flower infantil” (Kids' Flower), a party for the island's youngest led by DJ Javi Box and with entertainment by Estrella Llach.

Crafts and sport workshops for young people
The programme gets started at 7.00pm in jardí de ses Eres with an activity promoted as “a workshop of fitness for small children and youth”. Later s'Espurma, a self-styled “school of fun and entertainment”, offers participants the chance to design and put together their own accessories for the evening bash.

Special bus service
For everyone who wants to get in on the Formentera Flower fun without having to get behind the wheel, a dedicated bus service will be activated to link Sant Francesc with other local towns and hot spots.

The line hitching es Pujols and Sant Francesc, and, in the process, making stops in sa Roqueta and la Savina, begins service at 10.00pm in es Pujols and runs every thirty minutes until 1.00am. Every half hour from 1.30am to 5.30am, buses leave Sant Francesc and set out towards es Pujols.

The line connecting el Pilar de la Mola with Sant Francesc also passes through Hotel Riu, es Caló, es Ca Marí and Sant Ferran and makes two evening runs—one departing at 11.10pm and the second at 12.10am. Meanwhile, a total of five departures from Sant Francesc are planned to get residents of la Mola home safe and sound. That service begins at 1.30am and continues every hour until 5.30pm.

Users of the evening's special bus service will be charged €4 for single and €6 for return tickets.
