This 2025, the Seville Fair will be held between 5 and 11 May. The reason why each year occupies a different week in the calendar is indicated by the dates of Holy Week.

In addition, this edition will again be held from Monday to Sunday in light of the consultation raised by the Consistory. It was found that citizens preferred the traditional model, in force until 2016.

At the request of the City Council, and to ensure the safety and potential of both events, there should be a separation of two weeks between event and event. The pescaíto dinner that inaugurates the festive week will take place on Monday, May 5 at 00:00 hours.

The local holiday, in this case, was set for May 7, Wednesday of the fair.

In any case, alternative mobility systems such as electric scooters, battery-powered bicycles and electric motorcycles are also available.

What service will the Metro provide?

Although it is not known at the moment the service that Metro de Sevilla will provide during the April Fair, in past editions it did it uninterruptedly from the beginning to the end of the celebration.
