Description
The Pichoulinade is kicking off the summer in Mouriès! Concerts, meals, bullfighting events, DJ sets and a range of activities for all ages!
From 10 to 13 July 2026, Mouriès will come alive with the first ever edition of “La Pichoulinade”, organised by the “Li Pichoulins” association.
Conceived as a return to the traditions of village festivals, La Pichoulinade celebrates what makes Provence so charming: a lively crowd filling the streets, pistou soup shared in the shade of the plane trees, a drink with friends, a return to the meadows, and festive moments open to all generations.
A simple, warm and generous celebration, where people take the time to get together, dance, laugh and bring the spirit of Mouriès to life.

From 4 to 9 July, don’t miss the Aubades, organised by Li Pichoulins!
The aubade is a Provençal tradition where young people go from door to door throughout the village to announce the festival, share a moment of conviviality and, if they wish, collect a few donations to support the organisation of the festivities.
