The town's patron-saint festival on 26 July honoring Saint Anne. Its highlight is the procession through the streets and a popular celebration in Plaza del Arenal.
An Andalusian popular festival of national tourist interest, held every May. Known as an open feria with casetas, flamenco, sevillanas, fairground rides and horse parades.
Dos Hermanas, deeply rooted in Andalusian tradition and located immediately south of Seville, has developed in the shadow of the metropolis into one of the most populous and flourishing cities in the province. Originally an agricultural center known worldwide for its excellent table olives, the city has transformed into a dynamic industrial and residential area. Despite its rapid modern growth, Dos Hermanas passionately cultivates its customs, above all the Romería de Valme, one of Andalusia's most important and most visited pilgrimages, which attracts thousands of pilgrims year after year. The large Gran Hipódromo de Andalucía, one of Spain's most important horse racing tracks, further underscores the city's importance for equestrian sports and leisure culture in the region.
The most pleasant time to visit is May, Jun, Sep.
