Alès Feria
The most popular annual event of Alès, gathering around 300 000 people in the city center during the weekend following the Ascension Day.

Five days during which Alès is living at the intense rhythm of bodegas, encierros, peñas, abrivados, Camargue bull races ( "Trophée des As" prize on Thursday afternoon) and of the two "corridas à pied" (bullfightings during which the torero kills the bull on foot instead of on horseback) planned on Saturday and Sunday afternoon.

A "corrida à cheval" (on horseback) is planned on Sunday morning for the next three representations, with Camargue and Spanish horse-riding shows planned for Thursday and Friday on the bullrings.

Other activitities are planned among which: a pégoulade, the abrivado contest on Thursday morning, a "gardounenque" race ( on horseback in the Gardon) on Friday afternoon, a Camargue mass on Thursday morning and a Sevilla mass on Sunday morning, horse riding shows in a horse quarry, bandas contest, and bodegas villages settle in the city center with animation podiums.
