Choose the feria’s cultural format
The municipality describes the Easter feria as four days that open the bullfighting season, bringing colours, flavours and rhythms to Arles. Its identity includes both town festivities and arena events, rather than one performance at a single theatre.
Bullfighting traditions are part of this event. Read the actual programme and choose activities that match the interests and preferences of everyone travelling; participation in one part of a city celebration does not require attending every arena event.

Keep Easter and the rice feria distinct
Arles’ Easter feria takes place around the Easter weekend, while the municipality separately identifies the rice feria with the second weekend of September. Their programmes and bookings are distinct. The Easter page currently invites visitors to return in 2027.
Exact 2027 dates and a new activity schedule were not established by that invitation. Use the next municipal programme before arranging a specific arena event, street gathering or travel date.

Plan the particular activity and admission
Choose the event, location and time first, then establish whether it needs a separate ticket or reservation. General town festivities do not establish a reserved arena seat, and an arena ticket does not describe every part of the city programme.
Use the municipality’s edition-specific street, crowd and transport information when it is released, and ask about access arrangements for the chosen venue. Check admission charges for the activity and edition you choose.

Planning questions
Is the Easter feria the same as September’s Feria du Riz?
No. The municipality treats them as separate ferias with different seasonal traditions and programmes.
Are exact 2027 Easter feria dates established here?
No. The current Easter page announces a 2027 return; use the new municipal programme for dates, activities and admission.
