Fishermen's Festival

This traditional event brings together locals and visitors to enjoy Provençal customs, music, folk dances, and moments of togetherness by the sea. The evening begins at the Môle Jean-Réveille with the blessing of the town’s iconic boats, followed by the departure of the fishermen’s “pointus,” the boats of the Société Tropézienne de Voile (STVT), and the parade of the Fifres et Tambours de Saint-Tropez toward the Quai de la Pesquière. Upon their arrival, the festivities continue with Provençal dances by Lou Rampèu de Sant-Troupès, in an authentic and friendly atmosphere. The evening reaches its climax with the burning of the boat, followed by a grand farandole bringing the audience together. A dance party led by the Michel and Nathalie Fabre Orchestra extends the celebrations, while an “anchoïade” (anchovy feast) is hosted by the SNSM lifeguards and the crew of the Bailli de Suffren III.
