If there is one date marked in red on the Sevillians’ calendar, it is that of the Feria de Abril. In 2025, this event will take place from 6th to 11th May, filling the city with joy, music, and tradition, creating an unparalleled festive atmosphere. For one week, Seville is illuminated with lights, ruffled dresses, and the unmistakable sound of flamenco heels tapping on the sand, making the fair an unforgettable experience for both locals and visitors.
Experience the Essence of Seville at the April Fair
The April Fair is much more than a celebration—it is a way of life. Its origins date back to 1847, when it began as a livestock fair, gradually evolving into the major social and cultural event we know today. For an entire week, the Los Remedios Fairground fills with casetas, paper lanterns, and sevillanas music, bringing to life a unique spectacle where art and tradition blend seamlessly.
From Apartamentos Puerta del Sur, located just a few minutes away by car, you will have the perfect place to enjoy the fair while ensuring rest and comfort. You can stroll through its colourful streets, soak up the lively atmosphere of the casetas, and enjoy an experience that truly reflects the soul of Seville.
Enjoy an Authentic and Immersive Experience
The April Fair is an explosion of sensations. The aroma of fried fish—especially on 5th May, when the "Noche del Pescaíto" (Night of the Fried Fish) takes place—, the refreshing taste of rebujito, the sound of guitars and clapping hands all immerse you in a magical atmosphere.
During the day, casetas are filled with lively conversations and traditional Andalusian cuisine, while at night, the mood transforms into a vibrant celebration where flamenco and dance take centre stage.
If you love music, you will find live performances throughout the fair, as well as spontaneous singing and dancing, reflecting the authenticity of flamenco art. And if you feel inspired, there is always a caseta where you can learn a few sevillanas steps and truly embrace the local culture.
Beyond the festivities, the fair also has a strong traditional component, with horse and carriage parades, where magnificent carriages and elegantly dressed riders in traditional attire make their way through the fairground. It is a spectacle not to be missed, where Andalusian elegance and pride shine in every detail.
