Feria

Feria stands for party and celebration. Feria de Abril is one of the most important cultural and social events taking place in Seville (Spain) for over a week in the mid spring. With temperatures rising, locals meet together to celebrate friendship and family around wine, food and old-fashioned dances. Relaxed and tremendously popular, this tradition keeps moving these communities forwards with a foot in the roots and the joy of life as a philosophy. Feria was created as a livestock market and today riders, horses and carriages are still making their way around, not for trading but as a form of socialisation. Either to flirt with the passersby or simply demonstrating a status, upper classes in Seville still assume Feria as a display out of the times that dignifies their identity while mixing with the common people.
