The Fete de la Bravade kicks starts the religious festival calendar in the town.<\/p>\n<p>The whole of the resort becomes even more animated and colourful than usual, with music, dancing, military displays and huge parades passing through the elegant streets, never failing to astonish St Tropez\u2019 rather glamorous crowd of onlookers. This annual event dates back to the 15<sup>th<\/sup> century and is in honour of St Tropez\u2019s patron saint.<\/p>\n<p>Sharply after the conclusion of the Fete de Bravade, the Fete des Espagnols begins on June 5<sup>th<\/sup> each year. The Fete de Espagnols is in celebration of St Tropez\u2019s successful defence against the Spanish when they invaded the town in the 1500s. Again streets are lined with costumes, colour and jubilant activities, whilst the air is filled with music and the delicious aromas of some exquisite St Tropez cuisine.<\/p>\n<p>As this exclusive French Riviera town embarks on a summer designed for making every individual tourist\u2019s experience as impeccable as possible, it is in the late summer and in to the autumn when the festivals return. To mark the beginning of the grape harvest, the Fetes des Vendanges takes place at various vineyards in the area, creating huge interest from many enthusiastic French wine lovers.<\/p>\n<p>The popular Fetes des Vendanges is quickly followed by the even better attended sailing regatta at the beginning of October, which lures many exclusive yachts, their owners and like-mined enthusiasts to the area, to witness this fashionable event.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A calendar of colour, vibrancy and passion &#8211; St Tropez\u2019s 2011 festival line-up.
