May catches up with the new events crowding the tail end of spring and looking ahead to the unstoppable start of summer. Plans that are increasingly evening-oriented, refreshing, and outdoors to make the most of the charms of a vibrant city like Seville. The Puppet Fair is one of the major cultural events taking place this month, kicking off on May 3.

This 46th edition of the festival will run until May 23 with free events and affordable options in an extensive program for the whole family.

It’s typical for towns to host a variety of festivals throughout the spring to make the most of one of the liveliest and sunniest seasons of the year. With Holy Week and the April Fair behind us, it’s the province’s turn to embellish its towns with traditional festivals, events, medieval fairs, and themed markets. Thus, from May 8 to 10, 2026, Badolatosa celebrates its 9th Tapas Route and Bandolero Market.

An event that blends the flavor of the land with the rebellious spirit of the ancient Andalusian trails.

The Jury Experience is an immersive theater production that places the audience in the role of a jury.

Through the presentation of forensic evidence, testimonies, and live cross-examinations, attendees will analyze the facts of a criminal case to deliver a verdict.

The sessions will take place in the second half of March and promise to be one of the most original (and intense) events on the cultural calendar.

Electrolunch XXL, Seville’s major outdoor electronic music festival, has announced the dates for the remainder of the season.

12 hours of music, workshops, a space for the little ones, crafts, and food trucks. This May, the event will double its monthly schedule on May 1 and 9.

On the third Sunday of every month, around a hundred stalls gather in María Luisa Park, making this Sunday market a must-see event.

Stopping by this market is clearly one of the best weekend plans (including this May) under the Seville sun.

Specifically, this May’s event will take place on the 17th between 11:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m.

This month’s premieres include Hokum, Kiss of the Spider Woman, Hugo 24 (May 15), Beast: The Beast (May 22), and The Drama (May 29).

In the Park celebrates the thirteenth edition of this cultural event in one of the city’s green lungs.

An event taking place on May 9 featuring live music, children’s activities, and workshops for all ages, select cuisine, and its signature craft market.

Given the myriad of plans available in Seville this May, we’ve compiled a list of the most popular areas with ideas for mornings, vermouth time, late afternoons, and evenings. Places for drinks, traditional bars, and even nightclubs with terraces.

Arcade Planet was born from the passion of five retro video game collectors, who have spent six years bringing the world of 1980s arcade machines to Dos Hermanas.
