Festivals in Brittany

Brittany has managed to combine tradition and modernity to create many moments throughout the year to meet and have a good time. Every major town and village holds a festival to showcase and preserve local traditions. This is the region where the density of festivals is the highest, with 1 for 20 to 25,000 inhabitants.

For this year we invite you to discover some emblematic festivals.

Every year, the Icelandic and Newfoundland Festival brings the history of Icelandic fishermen to life.

Festival de Cornouaille in Quimper // July 21 to 24, 2022

These three weeks of entertainment end with a fest-noz, which has become the biggest indoor fest-noz in Brittany!
