During the 2023 Feria du Cheval, Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer transforms into a true temple dedicated to equestrian culture, where the horse is celebrated as a symbol of strength, grace, and tradition. From July 13 to 16, the town becomes the focal point for thousands of passionate enthusiasts who gather to celebrate the perfect union between man and horse in a festive and vibrant setting. This festival, which has been held for over 20 years, offers the opportunity for locals and visitors to fully experience Camargue culture, infused with the soul of the region. The Feria du Cheval is built upon three inseparable pillars: the horse, the bull, and the flamenco music, which define its identity and the unique atmosphere of the event.
Each year, this festival offers an unforgettable show where equestrian arts take center stage in all their splendor. The arenas of Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer host renowned artists and riders who perform breathtaking acts of dressage, vaulting, and acrobatics. The skill of the horses and the bond between the riders captivate the audience, transporting them into a world where balance and beauty of movement reign supreme. Equestrian performances follow one another, each offering a unique experience, marked by the passion and dedication of the artists who bring equestrian traditions to life in a modern and spectacular setting.
Beyond the arenas, the streets and squares of the village also become vibrant scenes, with colorful parades, equestrian competitions, and various demonstrations. Flamenco music, ever-present, adds a festive and captivating dimension to this extraordinary event. Every corner of the town echoes with the enchanting sounds of guitars and voices, creating a warm and friendly atmosphere that invites celebration and dance.
This year, the Feria du Cheval extends to the Méjanes arenas on July 14, where the prestigious Rejon d'Or will take place. This event will showcase the stars of rejón, featuring renowned figures such as Pablo Hermoso de Mendoza, his son Guillermo, and Lea Vicens, who will face off against six magnificent San Pelayo bulls. Spectators will have the chance to experience intense and emotional moments, where the art of rejón—horseback bullfighting—will be elevated to new heights.
To enhance this sensory experience, the technical team at iDzia was responsible for the sound, lighting, and structure of the show. Thanks to their expertise, every moment of the spectacle is amplified with perfect acoustics and lighting that highlights the beauty of the equestrian performances. Sound and light blend seamlessly to immerse the audience in a world where horse, rider, and music come together as one. iDzia’s technical installation played a crucial role in the success of the event, providing the public with an unforgettable, fully immersive experience.
