The story
Seville April Fair in Seville
Seville's week-long spring fair on a dedicated fairground across the river, filled with more than a thousand casetas, flamenco dancing, sherry, and horse-drawn carriage parades. Rooted in an 1846 livestock market, it now runs roughly two weeks after Holy Week and opens nightly with the illuminated alumbrao gate lighting ceremony.
Seville April Fair fills a dedicated fairground across the river from the historic center with more than a thousand casetas, private and public marquee tents, where Sevillanos gather day and night for a week of flamenco dancing, sherry, fried fish, and horse-drawn carriage parades, roughly two weeks after the solemnity of Holy Week concludes.
