Would you like to dance with your feet in the sand? Les Électros de Quiberon is the electronic music festival of the beaches of Quiberon Bay. Supported by the Hermine Records label, it offers several dates throughout the summer. Each evening features artists from the electro scene. Some evenings are free and others cost 5 € per admission.

Yet another tourism fair? Certainly not, Little Smartass faith! In this exhibition, as its name suggests, nature tourism is in the spotlight. In 2019, the show opens the borders of its destinations, with a regional offer of course, but also national and international. His visit is a source of inspiration for day, weekend or weekly excursions, sometimes with family, sometimes with friends, sometimes with lovers. Sports enthusiasts will find new ideas for outdoor activities, hikers on foot, by bike or on horseback, and new routes between land and sea. Heritage lovers will notice the inexhaustible diversity of Breton culture. Tourist destinations, accommodation, emblematic sites, museums, leisure activities: it's as if you've set foot in a guide. Enjoy your visit!

The Combat festival offers, during three days, several sessions of short films selected and organized into themes. Meetings with professionals are offered for rich exchanges with the public. Anchored in its territory to enhance its value, this film festival has everything of a great and asserts itself in the region, in the land, as an original, qualitative and open cultural offer for all. Cinephiles, curious.... It's an event to discover!

A great opportunity to enjoy the surroundings of a castle closed to visitors! Since 2022, the Château de Castellan has been home to an innovative concept based on the performing arts. Called Castel'Art, it features two original shows, one in the attic of the château's outbuildings, the other in an open-air theater in the heart of the park. An immersive, interactive experience for the whole family to enjoy over the vacations. In fine weather, a tea room is set up in the park, and at Christmas, the park lights up for a suspended moment where the magic of Christmas takes on its full meaning.

Les Nuits Vilaines is a very young festival which will celebrate its second edition in 2020. A family festival, it is open to all, from 10 to 90 years old (and beyond!) and offers an eclectic, varied and festive programme. 7 artists or groups of national stature (and whose success does not stop at the borders of France) perform on two stages, during a convivial evening

The Triumph of the Schools of Saint-Cyr Coëtquidan is the flagship event of Guer and the life of the officers of the school. It is both a traditional event marking the life of the school and a great celebration open to all. In two days, it offers the opportunity to discover military culture through a book fair, demonstrations (helicopters, combat aviation, tanks...), the stands of the various armies, a visit to the school museum... Most activities are free, except for baptisms. For shows, there is a charge for tiered seats, but they are easily visible outside the seats.

Algues au Rythme is an association created by the young people of Arradon. The initial idea was to propose an event for the young generation, and more precisely a concert of current music, outdoors. The event has grown and expanded with success. From one evening, it has grown to two days, then three days, and now welcomes street arts and children's shows for a free evening, open to all. Shows are also performed, upstream, in schools, EHPAD and residential homes. This festival is also committed to a sustainable development approach and to raising awareness of ecological practices.

Our Lady of the Bikers is a festive pilgrimage. Known throughout France and attracting bikers since 1953, the Madonna has grown over the years. A pilgrimage for some, it is also a festive occasion and a huge gathering of motorcyclists. The highlights are divided between religious celebrations (vespers at 5pm on the 14th, mass at 10am on the 15th, followed by the blessing of the motorcycles at 11.30am), rock concerts from the 14th to the evening interspersed with the torchlight vigil, and the ride on the 15th, through the Pays de l'Oust in Brocéliande.

The Festi'Val de l'Oust is one of those small, hyper-friendly festivals, on a human scale, to which one quickly becomes faithful. And there's plenty of it! The whole village of Saint-Servant, and its surroundings, gets involved in this great event. Everyone is a volunteer, dressed according to the theme of the year. The program features a variety of bands, in rock, punk and traditional music atmospheres revisited, for intergenerational evenings. With family and friends... It's a festival where you feel good and where you want to go back every year.

Organized in the middle of summer, on July 20 and 21, 2019, in the heart of Bois du Poulbert, the Paka Festival is the first music and entertainment festival for children and adults organized in La Trinité-sur-Mer. A festival that the organizing team wanted to be family-friendly above all. The festival is committed to a friendly experience by offering two days of music and shows for young and old, with a stage open to live performances for the former and a rich musical programme for the latter. The purpose of this first edition is to bring together the inhabitants of La Trinité-sur-Mer and the surrounding area while opening up to tourists and curious people from all walks of life. The team, composed of about twenty organizers, most of them in their thirties in Morbihan, has surrounded themselves with some 150 volunteers for the project. In the top three of the organizing team, we find friends, all attached to their territory. Steven Hemono, the festival manager, is a former bar manager who has organized many events, parties and festival covers, Georges Le Guennec, the artistic director, is a former film producer for major international festivals, also the creator of the Paka brand, and finally the couple of travel bloggers Arthur Crinquette and Claire Le Bourlot who are better known as "Les droneurs" and bring together a community of more than 60 000 people on social networks.

All are specialized in their field and share the same desire: to make this event an extraordinary moment and to make the festival one of the essential events of the summer period.

On the programme: concerts, entertainment, shows for young and old, but also a strong commitment to reduce the ecological impact of the festival (use of non-polluting vehicles, organic food, waste sorting), while emphasizing the development of sustainable actions (reduced paper consumption, dry toilets, recycled paper furniture and a portion of the profits donated to the association Les Mains Dans Le Sable, which organizes beach cleaning in Brittany). A great event is coming up!

This year, Les Galettes du Monde will once again feature 29 countries! This two-day festival is unique. It has won the incredible challenge of bringing together cultural associations from the four corners of the globe to showcase the extraordinary variety of galettes cooked (cereals, rice...) everywhere: Madagascar, in the spotlight this year, but also Colombia, Chile, Peru, Bolivia, Ukraine, Cambodia, Senegal, Vietnam, Afghanistan, the Berbers, Burkina Faso... and of course Brittany.
