Trébeurden’s Fête de la mer gathers maritime devotion, recreation and scientific interpretation at the Castel car park. Worship and local exhibitors sit alongside food, live music and opportunities to go out on the water. Short talks on marine subjects add an educational layer, linking the social life of the harbour with the ecology and practical knowledge of the surrounding sea.

Exposition “Dans nos filets” in Saint-Brieuc: Maritime Art
Dans nos filets at the Saint-Brieuc Museum examines the artistic image of fishermen and maritime labour. Works selected with the Orsay Museum show how painters, sculptors, writers and ethnologists interpreted men of the sea across different periods. The exhibition places those representations within collections shaped by Breton culture, coastal work and the museum’s own maritime history.
Pardon de Notre Dame de Roscudon in Pont-Croix: Community 祭祀
Within Pont-Croix, Notre Dame de Roscudon provides the church setting for a pardon rooted in parish life. Mass and a Marian vigil form the devotional structure while the building connects the observance with one of the town’s principal heritage sites. Local Catholic ritual, community memory and Breton religious tradition remain joined through the shared ceremony.
Nature Walk in Loudéac: Exploring Biodiversity
The planned Loudéac forest walk explores trees, shrubs and other plants, with mushrooms among the possible finds. Birdsong provides another way to observe the forest, including the distinctive call of the engoulvent. A forest-themed tale in Gallo is an optional part of the walk, weather permitting, linking the natural setting with local storytelling.
Duo Jaffré / Lucas in Trémel: Breton Heritage
Duo Jaffré / Lucas brings singer Élodie Jaffré and harpist Awena Lucas together around songs of Basse Bretagne. Their repertoire includes gwerzioù, sonioù, kan ha diskan and dance tunes from Centre Bretagne and Pays Vannetais. Voice and harp meet in a programme drawing on the traditional songs of these Breton territories.
Photography Exhibition in Combrit: Bigouden Heritage
Expo photos – 70 ans de culture bigoudène à Combrit documents the long life of the Bagad and Cercle de Combrit. More than 200 photographs show portraits, groups, costumes and associative moments tied to Bigouden culture.

Fest-Noz in Dinan: Traditional Music Night
This Dinan fest-noz places traditional Breton dance and music in the Quartiers d’été programme. Eris, a Rennes trio with Mannaïg Le Guével, brings Haute-Bretagne influences into a contemporary sound, while C’hwibu Luc’h Trio connects Breton and Irish tunes. Refreshments and catering support the social side of the evening, but the heart remains the shared dance floor and its regional repertoire.
11h55 au Beffroi in Concarneau: Belfry Insights
The belfry exhibition at Concarneau’s Maison du Patrimoine explores the history of the Ville-Close landmark. It explains the architecture, restoration plans and civic role of the tower, while guided visits and children’s workshops open the subject to different publics. The belfry becomes a way to read Concarneau through fortified-town memory, public architecture and heritage transmission.
Fest-noz in Treffiagat: Breton Dance Celebration
Fest-noz remains one of Brittany’s clearest living dance forms, and this gathering keeps that practice close to Saint-Fiacre. Kan Atao, Ar Bleizi Nevez, Duo Peron-Jaouen, Kantrerien and other musicians anchor the evening in sung and instrumental dance repertoire. Food and an outdoor setting support the main purpose: people learning rhythm, steps and community by joining the floor.
