Saint-Martin-de-Crau gives the Feu de la Saint-Jean a distinctly Provençal character. The evening begins with a lantern procession from the mairie to the Foirail, then continues with dance, music and the lighting of a large bonfire. The local folk group Li Coudelet Dansaire gives the celebration its cultural spine, connecting the event to the wider tradition of the Saint-Jean flame and to the balèti as a social dance rather than a stage performance. In a town shaped by Crau landscapes and pastoral memory, the gathering feels especially anchored. It is a warm, public expression of seasonal ritual, local colour and village conviviality at the start of summer.
