Seville Christmas Markets & Lights 2026
About
From late November Seville fills with festive markets and lights: the long-running Feria del Belén of nativity figures by the Cathedral, craft markets at Plaza Nueva, and a giant illuminated LED tree and light show in Plaza de San Francisco.
Highlights
- Feria del Belén — rows of stalls selling handmade nativity figures by the Cathedral.
- A giant illuminated LED tree and nightly light show in Plaza de San Francisco.
- Craft and gift markets around Plaza Nueva in the heart of the centre.
- Mild Andalusian winter weather for strolling between markets and lights.
Practical tips
- The Plaza de San Francisco light show runs each evening — go after 19:00.
- The Feria del Belén opens earlier (from November) than the craft markets.
- Pair with mantecados and polvorones, Andalusia's traditional Christmas sweets.

Other upcoming events
Granada International Festival of Music and Dance 2026
One of Europe's oldest classical-music festivals stages a month of concerts, ballet and recitals in the incomparable setting of the Alhambra's palaces and gardens, plus venues across Granada. The 75th edition runs from June into July.
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.
