Seville's April Fair 2026, taking place from April 21 to 26, arrives with a 4.5 million euro investment to modernize its infrastructure and services, including technological advancements and mobility improvements.

The Andalusian capital is gearing up for one of the most transformative editions of its iconic April Fair. With a total budget of 4.5 million euros, the 2026 edition focuses on improving access, lighting, the electrical grid, and the real's surroundings in the Barrio de Los Remedios. Featuring 1,040 casetas, the event aims to address the mobility and security challenges posed by such a large-scale celebration.
Among the most notable innovations is the creation of a new street extending Pepe Luis Vázquez, directly connecting the real with Juan Pablo II Avenue. This new route has been designed to optimize mobility, facilitate caseta provisioning, and waste collection. Although the total number of casetas has not increased, this reorganization has allowed for the addition of four extra units on Pepe Luis Vázquez street itself.
The fairgrounds have undergone unprecedented electrical modernization, thanks to a joint investment of 3 million euros from the City Council and Endesa. A crucial milestone has been the dismantling of the overhead high-voltage line in Calle del Infierno, replaced by an underground section of 865 meters of 66 kV line. This work eliminates the need for electrical service interruptions during the Fair, a safety measure previously mandatory.
The 2026 edition solidifies Seville's Fair as a smart event, integrating technology through the Sevilla App. For the first time, the municipal application will offer specific service information for the Fair, including a real-time occupancy map thanks to sensors installed in the fairground streets. This feature will allow visitors to avoid crowded areas, replicating the success achieved during the recent Holy Week.
The security and healthcare deployment will involve over 3,000 employees. A high-altitude camera has been installed at the main entrance for early smoke detection and rapid incident localization. Additionally, a first-aid point is being reinstated on Juan Belmonte street, complementing the large Field Hospital next to the Lipasam headquarters, staffed by a hundred healthcare professionals.
The City Council is also looking to the future, awaiting the free transfer of three plots in Los Gordales from the State. The goal is to obtain ownership of these lands to legally secure the fairgrounds and undertake an ambitious expansion of the Fair in future editions, with the intention of adding approximately 200 casetas.
