Provence's traditional fairs: village celebrations and festivities

Traditional fairs

It's no secret: here in Provence we love tradition! Ferias, folk dances, religious celebrations and all the Bouches-du-Rhône's best festive events are on the menu of this cultural diary! Don't miss them!

If you're a tradition buff, join the fervent crowds at the arenas of Arles, Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer and Istres during Camargue's famous ferias. You can also enjoy a variety of religious festivals paying tribute to the ancient customs of Provence in the Alpilles. On the Côte Bleue coast, the famous sea urchin festival in Carry-Le-Rouet offers a blend of seafood tasting and traditional dances. If you're staying in Marseille during Assumption weekend, don't miss the 'Fête de la Vierge' in the ancient Panier quarter. All the dates for Provence's traditional events are right here!
