Below is is a list of them
Cruces de Mayo
The Cruces de Mayo (Holy Crosses of May) is the most typical and popular festivity in Lebrija. It is held during the first two weekends of May every year. It is a community activity for what each neighbourhood raise a cross, either using a permanent buttercross site or building them from scratch using flowers, forged iron or wood. These places around the town are then used for dancing and singing, particularly a local form of Sevillanas, known as Sevillanas corraleras.
Annual Fair

Júas
The festivity of the Júas (Andalusian dialect pronunciation of the name Judas) takes place on Saint John’s Eve. Local people get together and make lifesize rag dolls, representing celebrities and local politicians. These rag dolls are left outside of houses so they can be admired by others. At midnight they are set alight, together with a fireworls display, thus marking the ending of the festivity.
Holy Week
As in Seville and other Andalusian cities, towns and villages, several hermandades march in procession, carrying pasos, lifelike wood or plaster sculptures of individual scenes of the Passion of Jesus Christ or images of the Virgin Mary. One of the most important hermandades is Veracruz.
Caracolá
Lebrija is a renowned flamenco centre and the Caracolá, one of the major flamenco festivals in Spain is held there every year in July.

The natural surroundings of Lebrija are influenced by the salt marshes and its proximity to the Guadalquivir River, where we can enjoy a pleasant day outdoors in the rural surroundings of Doñana National Park and “La Señuela” farm, a riverside spot in a luxuriant eucalyptus forest, ideal for any sport or leisure activities, such as horse riding, cycling, canoeing, bird watching, etc…

Another great environmental spot around Lebrija is found in the “Endorreic Complex Lebrija - Las Cabezas”, composed by the lagoons “Cigarrera”, “Galiana”, “Peña”, “Pilón” and “Taraje”, and declared a Natural Reserve by the Autonomous Authority of Andalusia. The typical vegetation of these wetlands is composed by common reeds and rushes; here we can easily spot birds species such as northern shoveller (anas clypeata), the red crested pochard (netta rufina), mallards (anas platyrhynchos), gadwalls (anas strepera), the white headed duck (oxyura leucocephala), and the purple swamphen (porphyrio porphiryo).

Just one km away from the town centre towards the neighbouring town of Las Cabezas rests the Hermitage of St Benito, local patron Saint, erected on top of a hill during the first period of the Reconquest. Next to the Hermitage, St Benito Park provides a leisure area in a forest surrounding, hosting within its grounds a small zoological reserve which is the delight of the younger one
