There are nights for exploring Seville and nights for stopping to listen to it. The Seville White Night 2026 invites you to do both: enter cultural spaces, discover an exhibition, follow a route through Triana and set aside a moment for flamenco singing, dance and guitar.
The challenge is not filling your schedule, but choosing a route that makes sense. This guide brings together a selection of the programme with times, announced prices and suggestions by area, with special attention to flamenco and to how you can combine the cultural activities with a show at a tablao.

Each activity has its own timetable
When is it? Friday 2 October 2026. Activities run from the afternoon into the early hours of Saturday, with a general reference window of 18:00 to 02:00, but each venue has its own timetable. There are free and paid activities, and some require advance booking. There is no single opening time for every venue.
Information reviewed on 22 September 2026. The date and general conditions can be checked in the Andalusia Cultural Agenda. The specific times in this selection come from the organisers’ activity pages.

White Night is a cultural event organised by the association sevillasemueve. Its 13th edition brings together more than 140 activities proposed by 82 organisations and venues, including heritage visits, music, exhibitions, routes, workshops and other ways to discover the city. In 2026 the programme also expands to Alcalá de Guadaíra and Carmona, according to the presentation of this edition.
To organise your evening, it helps to separate three things: the activities listed in the official programme, other events taking place on the same date and the regular shows offered by tablaos. A venue having a performance that Friday does not mean it is officially part of White Night or that admission is free.
Our recommendation is to choose one area and one main activity. From there, add one or two compatible plans. This guide does not reproduce all 140+ activities: it selects those that help build an evening with flamenco and cultural interest. To expand your route, use the official programme map.
These are the times and prices announced in the sources consulted. A broad time window may contain several sessions: it does not necessarily equal the duration of the visit or mean that you can join at any time. Always confirm your chosen session, access conditions and any possible changes.
| Activity | Venue | Announced time | Price | Access |

Important: this table presents options to choose from, not a route to do them all. Several overlap and take place in different areas. The links for each activity let you check the original information.
Jeromo Segura on vocals and Manuel de la Luz on guitar lead this maritime-themed recital, connected with the exhibition Cultures of the Sea. It is the most directly flamenco-focused option in our selection of the official programme.
It is announced from 21:30 to 22:45 at the Museum of Popular Arts and Customs and is free. We would choose it as the main activity for anyone prioritising flamenco singing. The page consulted does not specify a booking system: check the entry conditions and do not assume that free admission guarantees a place.
Ignacio Rodríguez, Pelícano Mecánico, presents an exhibition and sale of flamenco machines. The organisers list it under science and engineering, not as an artists’ recital. That distinction helps set expectations.
Its announced opening hours from 20:00 to 02:00 make it possible to treat it as a stop before or after another activity, always checking access first. It can be especially interesting if you prefer to discover an unusual side of flamenco rather than add two similar-format shows.
The concert by Armonía del Sur, at the Palace of the Marquises of La Algaba, combines copla, Spanish song, sevillanas and rumbas. It is a popular-music proposal with points of contact with flamenco, but it should not be presented as a standard flamenco ensemble of singing, dance and guitar.
At Alameda, Stories of Seville through sevillanas offers another approach to local culture. Since it ends at 21:00 and Armonía del Sur starts at the same time, we do not recommend promising that both can be attended in full.
The secrets of Triana is a tour about history, legends and customs. The published window is 19:00 to 23:00, with the meeting point varying according to the booked session. Before buying a second activity, ask where and when the tour ends.
Legendary Triana also appears in the 2026 listing, departing beside the Flamenco monument with an announced price of €15. Its time does not appear in that listing, so confirm the session for this edition explicitly. Do not use times or prices from previous years as a reference.
These routes are useful for exploring the context of the neighbourhood, but they are not, in themselves, flamenco shows. To add a performance, book the tablao separately and leave enough time between the two experiences.
The best choice is not necessarily the tablao with the latest session, but the one that fits your route. The following are complementary suggestions from Tablaos Flamencos, not activities announced as part of the official programme. Their tickets are booked separately.
Tablao Flamenco Las Setas is at Plaza de la Encarnación, 38, with street-level access. Its show lasts around 60 minutes and its page lists several regular sessions. It is worth checking if you want to combine flamenco with activities around Encarnación or continue afterwards towards Feria and San Luis.
We do not confirm any specific session for 2 October in advance: select the date in the calendar and check availability before planning the rest of the evening.
Tablao Flamenco La Cantaora is at Calle Albareda, 22, next to Plaza Nueva. Its page indicates an approximate duration of one hour. We suggest it for anyone who prefers to keep the evening in this part of the centre and add a cultural visit afterwards with enough time.
Casa Duende Tablao, at Corral del Rey, 22, is an option for a plan in the old town. It can fit an evening that includes Santa Cruz or a session of the micro-concerts at Casa de los Pinelo. Check the total duration of both bookings, not just their starting times.
Baraka Sala Flamenca is at Calle Pureza, 107, and its show lasts approximately one hour. It is the option we suggest checking when your main activity is a route through Triana and you prefer not to change areas.
Tablao Flamenco El Jardín de Murillo, at Paseo de Catalina de Ribera, 2, is another option to consider. Its page announces a 60-minute duration. It can work as the starting point for an afternoon of flamenco before continuing to another activity, always depending on the session actually available.
How to book: open the tablao page, select 2 October 2026, check the available sessions and ticket options and review the conditions before completing your booking. A published page does not confirm that places are still available for that date.
These suggestions are editorial guidance, not packages or guaranteed combinations. For activities with tickets, confirm the exact time first. Then add the rest and leave room for walking, entering the venue and possible waiting.
Check an early session at Las Setas and make sure it finishes with enough time for your next stop. From 20:00 you can consider the Pelícano exhibition; as a musical alternative, Armonía del Sur has a fixed 21:00–22:15 slot. Choose your priority instead of trying to fit everything in.
Swing at Encarnación offers another option from 20:30 to 22:30 if you prefer to remain around the square. It is a dance activity rather than flamenco, useful for adding variety to the evening.
Book a session for your chosen route and note both the time and the finishing point. Compare that with the available sessions at Baraka. The order can be reversed: the show first and the tour afterwards, if confirmed times allow it.
What we would avoid is buying two activities simply because their start times are an hour apart. A route may still be running when the tablao opens its doors. Staying in the neighbourhood makes the route easier, but does not remove possible overlaps.
Consider La Cantaora, Casa Duende or El Jardín de Murillo depending on where you start. At Casa de los Pinelo, the announced proposal combines a piano micro-concert of around 20 minutes with another 20 minutes of free time to visit the collection and courtyard. Book the specific session within the published time window.
The combination lets you alternate musical languages and spaces. Even so, add access and travel times: a short activity does not mean you can connect it with another one without a buffer.
If your priority is Cantes marineros, organise the afternoon around its 21:30 start. We do not recommend putting a show in another area immediately beforehand if it finishes too close to that time. After the recital, a relaxed end to the evening is better than buying a late ticket you may not be able to reach on time.
If you also want to enjoy a tablao without chaining bookings together, you can devote another day of your stay to it. The best plan is not necessarily the one with the most activities, but the one that lets you pay attention to each one.
Decide what you do not want to miss. Start by booking that activity and build your route around it. A secondary visit should not put the show you most want to see at risk.
Do not confuse free admission with guaranteed entry. Check the specific conditions for each venue. If the activity page does not make registration, limited capacity or ticket collection clear, confirm that before going.
Leave a realistic buffer. As a planning rule, leave at least 30 extra minutes between nearby activities and more if you change neighbourhood. That buffer is a recommendation, not a guaranteed estimate of walking time or queues.
Plan your return journey too. Check transport operators’ notices before heading out and consider taxi or public transport depending on where you are staying. Do not assume there will be special services or extended hours because White Night is taking place.
If you are going with children, reduce the number of stops. Check ages, duration and admission conditions both for cultural activities and the tablao. For accessibility needs, verify the specific venue and route; do not assume every proposal offers the same conditions.
Choose the ticket option according to what you need. If you want to focus on flamenco and keep flexibility for the rest of the evening, choose the simplest available option. If you opt for dinner or a gastronomic experience, check how much extra time you need to allow before or after the performance.
The 24th Flamenco Biennial runs from 9 September to 3 October 2026. White Night therefore coincides with its final stretch, but they are separate programmes and their tickets are not interchangeable.
If you extend your stay over the weekend, see our guide to the final days of the 2026 Biennial. It can help you spread your plans across several days instead of concentrating everything on Friday. You can also see our guide to what to do in Seville from 2 to 4 October 2026 to see how White Night, the Biennial closing days and flamenco fitted into the weekend as a whole.
Both towns appear in this edition’s programme. If you choose one of their activities, check its location and your return journey before booking another event in Seville city. Our recommendation is to treat them as a plan in their own right, not as an intermediate stop between two shows in central Seville.
It takes place on Friday 2 October 2026, with activities from the afternoon and some continuing into the early hours of Saturday 3. Each activity has its own timetable.
The general reference window is 18:00 to 02:00, but this is not a common opening time for all venues. There are performances with fixed start times, visits in timed sessions and venues that close earlier.
No. The programme combines free and paid activities. Some require advance booking, so check the conditions of your chosen proposal.
The programme announces the free Cantes marineros recital, with Jeromo Segura and Manuel de la Luz, on 2 October from 21:30 to 22:45 at Seville’s Museum of Popular Arts and Customs. Check access conditions before going.
You should not assume so. The tablaos recommended in this guide are complementary suggestions and their tickets are booked separately. Check the date, session and conditions on each page.
You can consider Las Setas for Encarnación; La Cantaora for Plaza Nueva; Casa Duende and El Jardín de Murillo for the historic centre and Santa Cruz; and Baraka for Triana. The final choice depends on the available session and the rest of your bookings.
The dates overlap, but they are different events. Check the times and tickets for each performance and consider spreading activities across Friday and Saturday rather than trying to chain them all together.
An exhibition you did not know, a visit to a courtyard or a guitar that changes the rhythm of the evening: White Night is best enjoyed when the plan has structure, but also some breathing room.
Choose your essential cultural activity, check its conditions and book a show that genuinely fits your route. To start, compare the options in our selection of flamenco in Seville.

In many cities, flamenco tablaos sell out easily, especially on weekends and during peak season. That’s why, if your dates are set, the most important thing is to book online.
Direct recommendation: book online through our website to guarantee your seat and arrive with everything confirmed. If you already have your destination, go straight to your city to see available options and clear recommendations.
