Traditional festivals folklore and fairs Brittany

First Sunday in September, blessing of the sea. It is better to reserve his place. The bouquet offered to the sea always includes a few fig branches, the tree tree.

The Kann Al Loar festival is a not-to-be-missed opportunity to discover the vitality of Breton culture in Landerneau. Since 1987, artists from all horizons have been performing to bring Brittany to life through music, song, theater and dance. Far from clichés, the festival promotes both traditional and modern forms of artistic expression. Kann Al Loar, with its street arts, shows and varied musical program, offers a formidable cultural mix for a weekend rich in discoveries.

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.

More than 60 years of existence! This huge familial event showcases the Bigouden local tradition and, more broadly, Breton, with an open window on more distant traditions. Breton music, traditional dances, great children's parade and fireworks on Saturday, fest-noz on Sunday evening presented by Sonerien Du, bagadoù competitions and parades, celtic circles, animate scenes and streets. And to finish on a high note, musicians and dancers in costumes blend into a gigantic final on Monday so as to pay tribute to the Reine des Brodeuses elected each year. Four days that animate the streets of Pont l'Abbé are celebrated.

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.
