The Riba Rocks Winter Party, on the 16th of December 2023, celebrated 10 Years since the first ever festival on the finca. We danced through a decade of memories with a wonderful group of party goers, thank you for joining us! We also raised 120 euros for the La Marató foundation as an entry fee to the event. Thank you for your collaboration!
We enjoyed headline beats by Ibiza’s own DJ Doctor Feelgood, and we grooved to the sensational sets by Els Mes Sonatts, Joint Chief, David by the Face, and Santiago del Blass.
