Concert pour bombarde et épinette brings Vincent Marin and Wenceslas Hervieux into the church at Les Fougerêts under the ACLPF heritage banner. Their duo places bombarde and épinette beside Baroque invention, finding kinship between older composed forms and traditional song. The program suits European Heritage Days because music becomes a way to hear local memory, instrument craft and Launay-Fougerêts heritage together.
Topic: events
FONDATION Goûter Électro
FONDATION is an electronic music microfestival in the Morbihan countryside, built around dub, techno, trance, tekno and D&B. A Stalker big top, 3D projection and sets from emerging and established collectives give the gathering its sound-system identity. Food and drinks from Breton producers keep the festival tied to local supply, so electronic culture meets rural hospitality without losing its experimental edge.
Les Boulinerien Sea Songs
Les Boulinerien of Plozévet bring a maritime song repertoire shaped by sea work, travel and coastal memory. Twelve singers and four musicians use djembe, saxophone, bagpipes, ukulele and diatonic accordion to arrange songs in French, Breton and English. The concert sits naturally in Pays Bigouden, where sailor song keeps language, harbor life and communal chorus close together.
Presqu’île Breizh at La Trinité-sur-Mer
Presqu’île Breizh reaches La Trinité-sur-Mer with two performances from the festival’s eleventh edition. Bagad Locoal-Mendon brings Breton bagad music to the harbour esplanade in a stationary presentation shaped around the ensemble’s sound. A second appearance turns toward Scotland with Hundred Percent Collective, an all-female pipe band, moving in procession from the Voulien roundabout to Town Hall Square. Together, the appearances connect the waterfront and town centre through two different formats: a focused harbour performance and a street parade. The programme has a clear local identity within the wider peninsula festival, combining Breton instrumental tradition with Scottish pipe-band energy. Admission is free, and Cours des Quais provides the practical anchor for the La Trinité-sur-Mer dates.
Escales Photos in Mor Braz
Escales Photos extends the Mor Braz photography festival through the Quiberon Bay area, linking Plouharnel with Locmariaquer, Arzon, Belle-Île-en-Mer and Houat. The Plouharnel program places Bretagne Monochrome beside Nadia Ferroukhi’s island work, moving between black-and-white studies and sea-bound viewpoints. Yoann Segalen, Mickaël Pouliquen, Serge Picard and Irène Jonas turn Brittany into a subject of texture, coastline and contemporary gaze.
Breton Headdresses at Saint-Jacut
Jean-Michel Le Méhauté gathers Breton coiffes and costume pieces as objects of textile skill, family memory and terroir identity. Embroidery, folded fabric, color and hairstyle show how each community marked belonging through dress. The Saint-Jacut exhibition treats the collector as a passeur de mémoire, shaped by conversations with elders and by the pleated coq headdress of the Emerald Coast.
Rando Noz Gourmande & Fest-Noz
Rando Noz gourmande & Fest noz begins as a community walk organised around Saint Joseph School in Crach, with food breaks placed along the route. The evening shifts into fest-noz, where Tam Glaz anchors the gathering in Breton dance music. Hiking, shared tables and circle-dance culture meet in a format that feels rural, sociable and closely tied to local school life.
Mémé K7 at Arth Mael
Mémé K7 brings the Kreiz Breizh Akademi into a concert built around the voices of women from Lower Brittany. Under violinist Pierre Droual, ten musicians work with collected songs, timbres and shifting moods, giving older material a sharper stage language. Breton song meets Basque and eastern colors in a performance where archive, memory and future-facing orchestration hold the same pulse.
Guided Walk on the Abers Coast
Balade commentée du littoral follows the mouth of the Aber-Benoît and the Saint-Pabu shoreline. The guided walk explains how abers form, how port activity and navigation shaped the coast, and how goémoniers used seaweed kilns. Flora, fauna and wartime remains add further layers, making the route a compact reading of maritime Brittany and its working shore.
Arth Mael Samain Night
Arth Mael’s Nuit de la Samain uses dance to mark the threshold between the light and dark seasons. Le Mange Bal folds Breton, Occitan and Auvergne traditions into electronic textures, while Planchée works from Upper Brittany repertoire toward trance, swing and partner dances. The Samain frame connects fest-noz practice with an older Celtic calendar, giving the night a ritual as well as musical edge.
