Events calendar Morbihan

The Vannes Marathon is not 1, but 4 sporting events. 1 marathon of 42,195 km very exactly with 2000 participants. 1 duet race, the "Duo de l'Hermine", one partner starting for 19 km, the other for 23 km, with 700 teams. 1 race of 10 km, "Les foulées du golfe", with 2000 runners. 1 company relay, in 9 km, 10 km, 12 km and 11 km, for 300 teams. The proposed circuits are among the most beautiful running circuits in the world, thanks to the itineraries that follow the coastal paths of the Gulf of Morbihan.

Every year since 1928, the Festival d'Arvor (formerly Fêtes d'Arvor) has brought together thousands of people, culminating in the crowning of the Queen of Arvor on the steps of the town hall. The Vannes festival committee organizes events around Breton culture, highlighting the dynamism of the groups and bagadoù: fest-noz, shows, sea chanteys, dance initiations and costume parades punctuate these festive days. This year, the festival celebrates the 80th anniversary of the Liberation of Vannes, which took place on August 4, 1944.

If there is a colourful charity event, it is this one! Every summer, these nautical jousts see costumed participants representing about twenty communes of the Auray region compete on the Saint-Goustan lake. It is therefore a dynamic and good-natured event that you can attend, and which takes place throughout the day. Beyond a friendly and unusual event, the aim is to raise funds for CCAS and local associations, in favour of children in difficult social or medical situations.

In the 1980s, with the first Tornado, Dart or the famous Hobie Cat, so characteristic with their coloured sails and their "banana" hulls, the sport catamaran became a legend. In 1988, the Catagolfe d'Arradon was created, the first of a long series of multihull raids and regattas. Since then, with the support of the Société des régates de Vannes and its partners, the Catagolfe d'Arradon has become one of the main sport catamaran regattas in France and one of the top three in Europe.
