Seville enters the last full week of September with a particularly busy schedule. The XXIV Bienal de Flamenco continues to fill some of the city's main venues, but these days we also have one of the year's most massive sporting events, free open-air festivals, family plans, crafts and exhibitions.
If you still don't know what to do in Seville from Monday 21 to Sunday 27 September 2026, here is SevillaLover's selection of some of the most interesting plans of the week.
1. Rafael Riqueni and Tim Ries open the week with "Tunisia"
📍 Teatro Lope de Vega
📅 Monday 21 September
🕗 20:00 h
🎟️ Tickets: from 12 to 35 €
The week begins with one of the world premieres of the XXIV Bienal de Flamenco.
Seville guitarist Rafael Riqueni shares the stage with Tim Ries in Tunisia, a project that proposes a dialogue between flamenco, jazz, improvisation and experimentation. The Bienal itself has announced that tickets for this performance are sold out.
And it won't be the only premiere of the night. At 22:30, Olga Pericet presents Perspectiva sobre un baile sonoro at the Teatro Central.
🎟️ Olga Pericet: 30 €
A fairly powerful way to start the week and keep discovering some of the most unusual proposals of this edition.
2. Manuel Liñán brings his dance to the Teatro de la Maestranza
📍 Teatro de la Maestranza
📅 Tuesday 22 September
🕗 20:00 h
🎟️ Tickets: from 28 to 55 €
On Tuesday it is the turn of Manuel Liñán, one of the great names in contemporary flamenco dance.
He presents "Bailaor@. Recital de baile + Artistas invitados", a special edition conceived as a one-off night within the Bienal. Liñán directs, choreographs and dances, accompanied by Francisco Vinuesa on guitar and various singers.
But it won't be the only flamenco option on Tuesday:
Pablo Martín Caminero – "Trilogía. Al toque"
📍 Real Fábrica de Artillería
🕘 21:00 h
🎟️ 30 €
Joselito Acedo – "Patio"
📍 Teatro Alameda
🕥 22:30 h
🎟️ 30 €
One of those days where the real problem isn't finding a plan, but deciding which one to go to.
3. "A canela y clavo": five flamenco names in one night
📍 Teatro de la Maestranza
📅 Thursday 24 September
🕗 20:00 h
🎟️ Tickets: from 28 to 55 €
On Thursday the Bienal brings together Esperanza Fernández, Duquende, José Valencia, Pepe Torres and Nazaret Reyes on the same stage in A canela y clavo.
A one-off night directed by Pedro María Peña and conceived as an encounter between different voices, generations and ways of understanding flamenco.
The programme continues through the night:
Pablo Martín Caminero + David Carpio – "Trilogía. Al cante"
📍 Real Fábrica de Artillería
🕘 21:00 h
🎟️ 30 €
Ezequiel Benítez – "Lo que nadie ve"
📍 Teatro Alameda
🕥 22:30 h
🎟️ 30 €
Thursday is especially strong for those who want to fully immerse themselves in the Bienal atmosphere.
4. Seville runs at night again
📍 Seville
📅 Friday 25 September
🕙 22:00 h
📏 Approximately 8.5 km
🏃 Up to 25,000 participants
On Friday comes one of September's most massive sporting events: the 38th Carrera Nocturna del Guadalquivir KH7.
The Nocturna is much more than a race. Its festive atmosphere, urban route and the thousands of participants who take to the streets each year have made it one of the most recognisable sporting events in Seville.
Registration fees
🎟️ General registration: 5.50 €
🎟️ People with a disability of 33% or more: 3 €
🎟️ Seville residents in situations of particular economic hardship: 4 €
🎟️ People over 65: 4 €
🎟️ IMD subscribers: 4,95 €
🎟️ Born in 2009, 2010 and 2011: free.
Whether you're running to set a personal best, to enjoy the route, or because someone convinced you with "it's only eight kilometres": the Nocturna is one of those different nights worth experiencing.
5. Stroll among artisans next to the Cathedral
📍 Calle Fray Ceferino González – between the Cathedral and the Archivo de Indias
📅 Throughout the week
🕙 10:00–14:30 h and 18:00–21:00 h
🎟️ Free entry
If you're looking for a quieter plan, this week the V Feria de Artesanía Creativa "Hecho en Sevilla" continues.
A total of 41 local craft workshops take part in this autumn edition with proposals in ceramics, pottery, jewellery, leather, textiles, bookbinding, engraving, wood and other disciplines.
The fair will be open until 13 October and operates with two shifts of artisans. The first remains until 28 September, so this week is a good time to discover their work.
Entry is free; you only pay for whatever you decide to take home.
6. Twelve hours of music, art and gastronomy at In The Park
📍 Zona Hórreo – Parque del Alamillo
📅 Saturday 26 September
🕛 From 12:00 to 00:00 h
🎟️ Free entry
On Saturday we have one of the most complete plans of the week.
In The Park #022 returns to the Parque del Alamillo with 12 hours of music, art, gastronomy and activities for all ages.
Dutch DJ Tonno Disko will headline this edition, his first performance in Andalusia. Vendita Mantequilla, Naya Binghi & Loch, Pablo Doom and Nicson b2b Chembass will also perform.
There will also be a market with 70 art and craft exhibitors and various participatory activities for children and adults. All of this with free entry.
A good plan to spend practically the whole day at the Alamillo.
7. Family Fair in the Parque de los Príncipes
📍 Parque de los Príncipes
📅 Saturday 26 September
🕚 From 11:00 h
🎟️ Free entry
If you're looking for what to do in Seville with children this weekend, note this plan too.
The Parque de los Príncipes hosts the Fiesta de las Familias on Saturday, organised by Los Remedios and free of charge. The activity starts at 11:00.
It also coincides that same day with In The Park at El Alamillo, so Saturday is especially well served for those who prefer free outdoor activities.
8. “La Belleza del conocimiento” at the Museo de Bellas Artes
📍 Museo de Bellas Artes de Sevilla – Plaza del Museo, 9
📅 Throughout the week
🎟️ Free entry
To finish, a cultural option to enjoy at a more relaxed pace.
The Museo de Bellas Artes is hosting “La Belleza del conocimiento. Donación Enrique Carlos Martín Rodríguez”.
The exhibition features twelve paintings and sculptures donated to the museum, spanning from the early 16th century to the mid-19th century, which help bring in artists and periods that have been little represented in its collections until now. The show can be visited until 11 October and admission is free.
A good excuse to return to one of Seville's great museums or discover it for the first time.
And on Sunday it's World Tourism Day
📅 Sunday 27 September
🎟️ Free activities with advance booking
World Tourism Day is celebrated on 27 September, and Seville has prepared a range of activities to explore the city from a different perspective.
These include a walking tour of Triana at 12:00 and an accessible tour at 17:00. Both are free, although they currently appear as fully booked.
And even if you don't manage to get a spot, there's always another option: being a tourist in our own city. Because living in Seville carries a small risk: walking past places every day that people from halfway around the world cross thousands of kilometres to see.
September still has a lot to say
The last full week of the month brings a combination that's hard to beat: the Bienal de Flamenco, thousands of people ready to run through Seville, free festivals, local crafts, family plans and exhibitions.
There are also options for practically every budget: from some of the major Bienal shows to numerous completely free plans.
And the Bienal isn't over yet: it will continue until 3 October, so flamenco will keep shaping a large part of Seville's cultural agenda in the coming days.
From 21 to 27 September, staying at home needs a very good excuse.
