When does the 2026 Seville Flamenco Biennial really begin?

The official dates of the 24th Flamenco Biennial are from 9 September to 3 October 2026, but the activities linked to this edition begin earlier. The exhibition La noche azul opens on 2 September, and between the 3rd and the 8th there are free performances and the first screening in the Biennial's film series.

What Biennial activities are there before 9 September?

Before the official opening, the programme includes La noche azul on the 2nd; La noche de las gitanas on the 3rd; Cuestión de tiempo by the Aguilar Brothers on the 4th; the 2nd Macarena Flamenca Festival on the 5th; Nazareno y Olivares, a tribute to Fosforito, on the 6th; and the first screening in the film series Flamencas on the 8th.

Are the shows on 3, 4, 5 and 6 September free?

Yes. The four events in Flamenco in the Streets are announced as free, open-access activities until capacity is reached. For that reason, arriving early is recommended, especially at venues with limited capacity.

Which film is being screened on 8 September at the Three Cultures Foundation?

At the time of publication, the updated Three Cultures Foundation programme lists for 8 September at 20:30 Flamencas, mujeres, fuerza y duende, by Marcos Medina and Jonathan González. Some earlier calendars show a different order of films, so we recommend checking the official event page before attending.

What happens at the Biennial on 9 September?

On 9 September, the official opening takes place with the sung proclamation Ecos primitivos. Cante en altura, danza en tierra, directed by Segundo Falcón in Plaza de San Francisco at 20:30. Participants include María Terremoto, Rafael de Utrera, Esperanza Fernández, Pedro El Granaíno and dancer Ana Morales.

Where can I see the full 2026 Biennial programme?

The full programme and any updates should be checked on the official Seville Flamenco Biennial website. At Tablaos Flamencos we also maintain a general guide to the 2026 edition and dedicated articles on free activities, Noches Únicas, sold-out tickets and exhibitions.
