Christmas is taking shape in Seville following the lighting ceremony on November 27, when the abundance of Christmas events officially begins. In fact, on December 4, 2026, Sevilla Xmas Park opens its doors—a massive festive venue with more than 50,000 square meters dedicated to Christmas.
The Seville Convention and Exhibition Center (FIBES) is transformed into a large park for family and cultural recreation.
The venue will be open from December 4, 2026, through January 9, 2027, offering free admission to the park and a wide-ranging program that combines winter sports, themed cuisine, theater, and Andalusian traditions.
Xtmas Ice: 1,400 square meters of ice in Seville
The park will kick off on December 4 with the opening of Xtmas Ice in Pavilion 3 at FIBES. This winter venue will feature a total ice surface area of 1,400 m²—an unprecedented size for the city of Seville—divided into two separate rinks:
- Main rink for adults: measuring 30 x 40 meters.
- Kids’ Play Area: a specially adapted 10 x 20-meter space for the little ones.
In addition to traditional ice skating, the ice area will feature an ice slide, the Ice Tornado attraction, and a snow park with ice motorcycles. To recharge and warm up, the pavilion will be surrounded by four wooden food stands offering a variety of culinary options.
Bavarian Xtmas: A Grand Beer Festival
Starting December 17, the park will unveil the rest of its attractions (such as inflatables, a go-kart track, and the immersive Metanavidad space), and Bavarian Xtmas will open.
This event brings the spirit of Germany’s major beer festivals to the Christmas atmosphere at FIBES.
Conceived as a gastronomic and social leisure experience, it will remain open until the park closes on January 9, serving as a meeting place for groups and adults within the complex.
Xtmas with Duende: The Rhythm and Tradition of the Zambombas
Alongside international entertainment and attractions, Sevilla Xmas Park reserves a prominent place for Andalusian cultural identity through “Xtmas con Duende.”
This performance pays homage to the traditional zambombas held in courtyards and farmyards, which are so deeply rooted in places like Jerez, Triana, and Utrera.
Under the theme of a Christmas celebrated with bulerías, Xtmas con Duende will offer zambombas and free musical performances throughout the season, accompanied by local culinary offerings.
Near this venue, a Sevillian-style village will be set up, featuring tents run by the city’s hospitality businesses, which will enhance the experience with tapas and other delicacies.
This focus on traditional music will be complemented by the stage program at the Gran Teatro (with a capacity of 1,000 spectators), where the classic *A Christmas Carol* will be performed.
Operating Hours, Tickets, and Prices
Although general admission to the Sevilla Xmas Park grounds is free, the various attractions, shows, and themed areas operate using their own internal currency system called Xtmas Coins (with two free coins upon registering on their website). One coin is equivalent to 1.80 €.
