  • Fête d’Été in Mouriès: Celebrating Local Folklore

    Fête d’Été in Mouriès takes place at Centre-Ville de Mouriès, in Mouriès. The public schedule is 19 to 21 June 2026. Its regional value is in the relationship between the work shown, the venue and the local cultural network that hosts it. It also carries a second reading: its regional value is strongest when the performance is tied to a local venue, a public celebration or a repertoire that people recognize in the region. The Fête d’Été du Club Taurin Mouriésen and Fête du Ruban 2026 invites you to experience a weekend filled with local folklore and traditions in Mouriès, located in the beautiful Alpilles region. The festivities begin on Friday, 19 June, at 6:30 PM with a big lotto at Cours Paul Révoil. On Saturday, 20 June, the day starts with an exhibition titled “30 Years of Queens’ Costumes” at Moulin Peyre at 9:30 AM, followed by the Queen’s procession at 11:15 AM. The venue, artist, medium, collection and public setting give the exhibition or art route its regional frame. Instruments, dance forms, choirs, brass bands, folk groups and local stages give the programme more cultural weight than a simple concert notice. Local markers such as traditional costume and camargue keep the focus on the people, products, repertoire or customs behind the programme. The practical anchor is Centre-Ville de Mouriès, Mouriès, France, a precise location that keeps the event tied to its town rather than to a loose regional label.
