Festivals & Events in Sevilla

Seville's Holy Week is free and open to all: you only pay for seats and grandstands along the Official Route. In 2026 it runs from 29 March to 5 April, with the eve celebrations on the 27th. Its peak is La Madrugá, when five major brotherhoods process from 1:00 a.m. until noon.

Two weeks after Easter, Sevilla sets up its Real in Los Remedios: around 1,059 casetas (up to ~1,250 plots with the expansion), flamenco dresses, horses and sevillanas. Entry is free, but most are private and only accessible with an invitation from a member. Only around 14–16 are open to the public.

Seville's oldest festival, with more than 750 years of history, doesn't take place in the city centre — it happens in Triana. The Velá de Santa Ana falls in the last week of July, around the 26th: free casetas along the Guadalquivir, the cucaña grease-pole contest over the river, and not a flamenco dress or equestrian parade in sight.

Every January 5th, Seville's Cabalgata de Reyes Magos winds through the city centre with 33 floats and around 100,000 kg of sweets tossed from them. Organised by the Ateneo since 1918, it is one of the oldest in Spain. Entry is free and open to all; the parade lasts about six hours.
