The markets of Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer are held every Monday and Friday morning.
Several pilgrimages in honor of Mary are organized on 24 and 25 May, and at the end of October. The first brings together several tens of thousands of travelers each year to pay homage to their patron saint, Sarah the Black.
A votive festival is organized in June with young people dressed in folk costumes dancing in the streets and various bullfighting shows.
La Feria du cheval takes place around July 14, with concerts of gypsy music, and equestrian shows inspired by the Camargue tradition.
Each November 11, the festival of Abrivado reveals on the beach several hundreds of guards showing their address in horsemanship.
Still in the tradition of the Camargue, the Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer offer great festivities at the time of Christmas, like a procession with torches, a release of bulls in the city.
