The Seville April Fair 2026 once again turns the Los Remedios neighborhood into the epicenter of Andalusian festivities, tradition and folklore.

A week in which the daytime atmosphere, nightlife and essential events such as the lightingHell Street or the final fireworks.
Unlike other popular festivals, the date of its celebration depends on the lunar calendar, which is what sets Holy Week. This is the second year that the short format has been resumed after the controversial 2024 referendum in which Sevillians were asked if they wanted the Saturday-to-Saturday model – which was established in 2017 – or the traditional one.
This year the cover is dedicated to the Portuguese pavilion of the Universal Exposition of the 29th, coinciding with the celebration of the V centenary of the Wedding between Emperor Charles V and Isabella of Portugal that took place in the Alcázar of Seville 500 years ago.

Hell Street: the great amusement park of the April Fair
Calle del Infierno is the name by which the amusement park located next to the Real de la Feria is traditionally known. With an approximate area of 87,000 square meters, it brings together nearly 400 attractions and fair activities designed for all audiences, although it has become, especially, the favorite space for the little ones.
This year, in addition, Calle del Infierno will once again have its own soundtrack, called ‘Canal Feria’, which will be managed and activated directly by those responsible for the attractions, thus reinforcing the immersive experience of the venue.
