Seville Fair 2026: Complete Guide for Travelers

Some cities transform completely for a few days each year. Seville is one of them, and the April Fair (Feria de Abril) is the reason. If you're planning to visit the Andalusian capital between April 20 and 26, 2026, this guide is for you.

When does the Fair actually begin?

Officially, the Fair kicks off in the early hours of Monday into Tuesday. But the real starting signal is the Noche del Pescaíto (Fried Fish Night), on Monday, April 20. That night, the casetas (private marquees) open their doors for an informal gala dinner, and at precisely 00:00h, the most anticipated moment occurs: the Alumbrao. Thousands of light bulbs and lanterns light up simultaneously, illuminating the Main Gate (Portada) and the Fairgrounds (Real de la Feria). A spectacle worth seeing live.

Key days of the week

The Fair lasts six days, from Tuesday, April 21 to Sunday, April 26, but not all days are the same:

• Tuesday, April 21 — First official day: The atmosphere is calmer and more authentic. It's the best time to stroll through the Fairgrounds without crowds and see the Paseo de Caballos y Enganches (Horse and Carriage Parade), one of the most elegant spectacles of the Fair.
• Wednesday, April 22 — The big day: A local holiday in Seville. The attendance soars, and the atmosphere reaches its peak. If you can only choose one day, make it this one, but be prepared for the crowds.
• Sunday, April 26 — The closing: The last night has its own magic. At 24:00h, a fireworks display over the Guadalquivir river brings the edition to a spectacular close. Emotional and impressive.

Beyond the Fair: Seasonal Pilgrimages

If your visit to Seville extends beyond the Fair, Andalusian spring has much more to offer:

• Pilgrimage of the Virgen de la Cabeza (April 18–27): Celebrated in Andújar (Jaén), it's one of Spain's most popular pilgrimages and coincides in dates with the Fair. A perfect excursion if you want to combine both experiences.
• Pilgrimage of El Rocío (May 22): The most famous and important in Andalusia. Weeks after the Fair, the brotherhoods of Seville begin their journey to El Rocío in a unique pilgrimage in the world.
• Pilgrimage of Valme: More intimate and local, it is celebrated on the third Sunday of October in Dos Hermanas, a few kilometers from Seville.

How to get to the Fairgrounds without complications?

The fairgrounds are located in the Los Remedios neighborhood. During Fair week, traffic in Seville becomes considerably complicated, and parking is practically impossible. The best option is to arrive by private transport with a driver, who will drop you off at the entrance and pick you up when you need them, without waiting or surprises.

At Megostransfer, we offer private transfers from Seville airport, downtown hotels, and any point in the city to the Fairgrounds, with real-time flight tracking and trusted drivers. Check availability and book your transfer here.

5 reasons to go to the Fair by private transport

The Fair is a party, and parties are best enjoyed when you don't have to worry about logistics. These are the reasons why more and more Sevillians and visitors are choosing private transport:

1. Public transport is at its limit. During the Fair, the metro, buses, and tram operate at full capacity. Waiting times multiply, especially when leaving, when everyone wants to go home at once. With a private transfer, your driver is waiting for you when you decide to leave, not when the system allows it.
2. Parking in Los Remedios is an odyssey. Parking lots near the Fairgrounds fill up from early morning. Driving around for 30 or 40 minutes looking for a spot is not the best start to a day at the Fair. Avoid it completely.
3. If you drink, don't drive. And at the Fair, people drink. Rebujito, manzanilla, and fino are an inseparable part of the experience. Enjoying without limits and getting home safely are not incompatible: you just need a reliable driver to take care of you. Your safety and that of others is priceless.
4. Door-to-door comfort. No transfers, no walking in heels or flamenco dress through crowded streets, no carrying bags. The car picks you up where you are and takes you exactly where you need to go.
5. Fixed price, no surprises. No skyrocketing taxi meters or dynamic fares. With Megostransfer, you know the price before getting in the car, and it doesn't change even if there are traffic jams or the journey is longer.

The Seville Fair is a unique experience. Don't let mobility take away a single minute of your enjoyment. Book your private transfer with Megostransfer and arrive at Los Remedios as you deserve.
