The Feria de Sevilla, a famous Spanish celebration, is coming to Puerto Rico. A group of Spanish and local entrepreneurs will recreate the event, on a smaller scale, starting in November. The first Feria de Sevilla Puerto Rico will take place on November 14, 2026, at the Antiguo Arsenal de la Marina Española in Old San Juan, from 11:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m.
The event will feature a 12-hour artistic program with flamenco music, dance performances, and local music schools. Around 20 food and drink vendors will offer traditional Spanish dishes and drinks, including the 'rebujito'. The event will also include the traditional white casetas, or tents, which are an integral part of the Feria de Abril.
Rebeca Calvet, one of the event's creators, said the goal is to bring a taste of Spain to Puerto Rico and create a new local tradition. The event aims to be a celebration of culture and social gathering, where attendees can enjoy music, food, and dance.
