Velá de Santiago y Santa Ana 2026 — Triana
Triana's beloved summer street fiesta honours the district's patroness, Santa Ana, with six days of riverside revelry on Calle Betis and Plaza del Altozano. Nightly concerts, stalls and the daring 'cucaña' — a greased pole jutting over the Guadalquivir — define this most quintessentially Sevillian of celebrations.
Assumption of Mary (Spain)
The Feast of the Assumption on 15 August is a national public holiday and one of the high points of the Spanish summer, with patron-saint ferias in many towns. In Seville it falls during the sweltering, quieter August low season.
