Feria y Fiestas Patronales en Lebrija

Introduction and local significance

The Feria y Fiestas Patronales en Lebrija take place this year from 8 to 12 September 2026. This event is the main festival of the municipality in the province of Sevilla, centring its activities on the figure of Nuestra Señora del Castillo Coronada. The programme spans five days featuring both religious services and social and cultural events for residents and visitors alike. Activity is concentrated at the Real de la Feria fairground, where a large part of the official agenda takes place during this second week of September, creating a lively atmosphere central to the town's social life.

Historical origins and tradition

The identity of this festival is maintained through specific elements that define the aesthetics and development of the activities at the fairground. The carnation remains the symbol of Lebrija and a characteristic feature of these days. Likewise, the traditional horse and carriage parade (paseo de caballos y enganches) through the authorised streets of the Real de la Feria represents one of the most deeply rooted customs. This activity requires prior administrative management, so those interested in participating must register at the Town Hall within the established deadline, which runs from 24 August to 4 September. These practices reinforce the preservation of traditional elements and the organisation of the space.

Programme and main events

The programme of the Feria y Fiestas Patronales en Lebrija in 2026 is structured to cater to diverse audiences by alternating institutional, religious and entertainment events. The festive period kicks off on 8 September with the official switching-on of the lights and the fireworks display, milestones that mark the beginning of activity at the Real. The official programme also includes social and collective moments, such as the Senior Citizens' Tribute Dinner, which takes place in the Caseta Municipal (Municipal Marquee).

The religious sphere reaches its turning point on 11 September, the day of the Main Mass in honour of Nuestra Señora del Castillo Coronada at the Parroquia de Nuestra Señora de la Oliva, followed by the patron saint's procession. On the other hand, the leisure offer includes children's days with special prices at the funfair and family street parades that tour the fairground. Given that the complete list of events is extensive, it is recommended to consult the list of activities shown at the top of this page. It is essential to review this list before planning your journey, as times and locations may undergo organisational changes.

Traditional festival food

The festival dossier does not contain specific information about traditional dishes, recipes or catering establishments associated with the celebration. The gastronomic offer inside the Real de la Feria is based on the services usually found within the marquee spaces, with no specific data on particular recipes or specific products that must be consumed during these days.

Visitor guide and where to stay

The main venue for the events is the Real de la Feria. To facilitate access and movement, the Town Hall provides a little train service with two operational lines. Given the influx of the public, the use of public transport is recommended, or parking vehicles outside the town centre to avoid potential traffic complications. In terms of security and assistance, the operation is centralised at the CECOP, located in the former Caseta Municipal on Avenida de Andalucía. This point brings together the services of the Local Police, Civil Guard, Fire Service, Civil Protection, and medical and veterinary services.

As an accessibility measure, the funfair establishes a music-free time slot from 17:00 to 19:00, with the aim of facilitating the enjoyment of the facilities for people with special sensitivity to noise. For travel logistics, it is advisable to book accommodation in advance. Staying within the municipality of Lebrija or in nearby towns makes it easier to follow the night events of the fair. It is advisable to keep an eye on any updates regarding times and access that may be published through the Town Hall's official channels.
