Plestin’s book fair forms part of Gouel bro Plistin, placing books within the town’s cultural festival. To mark the fair’s anniversary, Dañs Treger is running a micro-story competition in French and Breton. Entrants write around the number thirty, working within a tightly limited text length that makes brevity part of the literary challenge.

Les chevaux dansent à la bodega: Equestrian Cabaret
In Les chevaux dansent à la bodega, horses perform to music in an equestrian cabaret in La Gacilly. A Spanish feria supplies the show’s festive theme, with lively rhythms directing the horses’ dancing. Sangria accompanies the audience’s experience, extending the bodega atmosphere beyond the performance itself.
Hop ad hoc: Musée Breton and Kernault Theatre Tours
The actresses of Hop ad hoc take the architecture of the Musée Breton and Manoir de Kernault as their starting point. Their theatrical visits reinterpret the buildings with humour, breaking with the format of a conventional guided tour. The programme links both heritage sites, inviting participants to begin at one and continue the experience at the other.
Plourin-lès-Morlaix Heritage Visits
The owners of Penlan Manor guide visitors through its history as part of Plourin-lès-Morlaix’s heritage programme. The visit also takes in Saint Bernard Chapel, pairing the manor’s domestic story with religious architecture. Notre-Dame Church and its ossuary open separately, adding another view of the town’s Breton built heritage.
Bleunioù Lann An Aven: Celtic Circle Exhibition
Bleunioù Lann An Aven brings together dancers and musicians in Riec-sur-Bélon. The exhibition follows the history and development of this Celtic circle, one of Brittany’s oldest folk ensembles.

Gou’Mikel Breton Festival

Traditional games and a mini fest-deiz invite people to join the activities alongside the performances.
Dremmwel and Guests: Breton Music Concert
Dremmwel revisits a repertoire shaped by Breton dance music and original arrangements.

Storyteller Patrik Ewen recounts the group’s history, from fest-noz gatherings and pubs to concert and theatre stages.
Grand Pardon de Notre-Dame du Roncier
Josselin gathers for the Grand Pardon de Notre-Dame du Roncier, with processions linking the fountain, basilica and Saint-Martin Square. Mounir Khairallah, Maronite Bishop of Batroun in Lebanon, presides over the celebrations and gives testimony during the vigil. Mass, the rosary and vespers form the devotional programme of this Breton pardon.
Le Camber Traditional Music Concert in Sérent
A bombarde and three saxophones share the ensemble at Le Camber’s traditional music concert in Sérent. Guitar, bass and drums complete the line-up, bringing contrasting instrumental colours to the performance. The group comes from the Questembert School of Traditional Music and plays as part of Sérent’s Journées Européennes du Patrimoine programme.
