Each year, the Maillanais commemorate the birth of the poet Frédéric Mistral, born on 8 September 1830. During this day, a mass in Provence was followed by a pilgrimage to the cemetery in tribute to the poet with the participation of the Atelier du Costume, Des and Children of Schools workshop. Then, place to show and animations, with concert and book to book in the streets of the village.

Since January 2017 and under the aegis of the town hall of the 1st and 7th districts, the "Sundays of the Canebière" have been held on the most famous avenue of the Phocéenne city. Entirely pedestrianized, it is invaded by a crowd of curious people, a multitude of animations, groups, parades and becomes a market of local products and crafts, a record fair and much more. Each month, the edition adopts a different theme that delights young and old alike. A really nice and successful initiative to revitalize the city centre on Sundays.

This traditional and popular holiday is animated by Lei Farandoulaire Sestian. Start of the festivities with the flame recovery, at 20 p. m., place de l'Hôtel-de-Ville. Next, the Provençale cortège is located in the square of the Piétonne and its surroundings. Start a series of animations. The Provençal dances presented by Lei Farandoulaire Sestian are the highlight of the show. At 22 p. m., it's the blessing and the embrasement of the fireplace that opens the Grand Balèti, the popular ball. A great opportunity to celebrate the arrival of the summer!
