La Pegoulado d’Arles

Date: 3 July 2026
Address: Boulevard des Lices, 13200 Arles, France
Organizer: Festiv’Arles
Price: Free access

La Pegoulado is one of the most evocative moments in Arles’ traditional calendar. The evening procession brings together Arlésiennes, gardians, groups in costume and the atmosphere of a city that still knows how to stage its own memory without turning it into a museum. The name itself evokes light and movement, and the event offers a concentrated vision of Arlesian identity: dress, music, horses, local pride and the continuity of public ritual. For a visitor, it is a beautiful introduction to the codes of Arles, but it also deserves respect as a community event. Its value lies in the quiet power of transmission, from embroidered fabrics to gestures learned over generations.
