Les notes salées brings the JC Guichen Group to Place du Port in Plobannalec-Lesconil. The official description presents Guichen as a major figure in Breton dance music, with 40 years of stage work and a rock-driven approach to the repertoire. This concert focuses on original compositions where gavotte and gigue rhythms meet electric energy and virtuoso playing. Organized by the Plobannalec-Lesconil Town Hall, it fits the town’s summer port programme: a free outdoor date, tied to Breton dance culture but delivered as a full live concert.

Apéro Breizh in Lesconil: Baudu and Delbassée
The 4 August Apéro Breizh at the port of Lesconil features the Baudu/Delbassée duo. Nolwenn Baudu plays harp and diatonic accordion, while Fanny Delbassée plays diatonic accordion; the source presents them as longtime friends sharing tunes from Upper Brittany and melodies gathered along the way. Organized by the Plobannalec-Lesconil Town Hall, the after-dinner concert keeps the format intimate and dance-oriented. The editorial focus is the musicianship rather than generic atmosphere: two players, traditional material and a port setting that suits the Apéro Breizh series.
Nocturnes du mercredi in Pléneuf-Val-André: Streetside Concerts
Pléneuf-Val-André’s Nocturnes du mercredi turns Val-André into an evening music route from 6 p.m. to 11:30 p.m. The source announces free concerts on terraces and in the streets, organized by the town and local merchants. Bagad Salicornes from Saint-Cast-le-Guildo opens the strolling programme at 6 p.m. with Breton and Celtic music, while other confirmed acts include Nolan Good Vibes at the Casino bar, Trio Manuel at La Vagabonde and La Mouette pas Muette at La Voile in Dahouët. Streets become pedestrian from 3 p.m., with free shuttles running toward La Princelle until 11 p.m.
Fest-Noz in Tressignaux for the Pardon of Saint Anthony
The Tressignaux Fest-Noz is organized by Mix Café Associatif and the Tressignaux History and Heritage Association for the Pardon of Saint Anthony. The source places the outdoor dance floor near the Chapelle Saint-Antoine and lists Hamon Martin Quintet, Digabestr, Diveaj and Moal/Chapelain on the programme. Food and refreshments begin at 8 p.m., with sausage galettes, crêpes and desserts announced. Admission is 8 euros, free for children under 12 and half price for ages 12 to 17. The event combines pardon context, local food and live Breton dance music.
Apéro Breizh in Lesconil: Cadudal and Méhat
The 7 July Apéro Breizh at Lesconil port features the Cadudal-Méhat duo. Fabian Cadudal on accordion and Loeiz Méhat on saxophones perform dance music based on traditional dances from Upper and Lower Brittany, with original compositions and arrangements included in the set. Organized by the Plobannalec-Lesconil Town Hall, the concert belongs to the port’s after-dinner summer programme. Its appeal is specific: two instrumentalists reworking Breton dance material for an open-air community setting, followed by the informal gathering that defines the Apéro Breizh format.
Breizh Party in Châteaugiron: Palet, Bagad and Dance
The 9 July Breizh Party is part of Châteaugiron’s Jeudis animés summer evenings. The source places the event in the town centre, where children’s activities and crêpes from AAMPC open the programme before Brittany takes centre stage. Kantou organizes a palet competition, and the Rimandelle association joins Bagad de Châteaugiron for a dance party. Food and drinks are provided by Arrêt Gourmand and restaurants on Rue de la Madeleine, with tables set on Place des Gastes and Rue de la Madeleine. The event’s identity is clearly local: palet, bagad, dance, shops and shared street life.
Apéro Breizh in Lesconil: Thouenon Le Dissez
The 21 July Apéro Breizh at Lesconil port features Duo Thouenon Le Dissez. The source connects the pair to Loened Fall, a band associated with three decades of festoù-noz, and describes their duo repertoire as 100 percent Breton music enriched with compositions inspired by travel and performance experience. Organized by the Plobannalec-Lesconil Town Hall, the event keeps the same after-concert port format as the wider Apéro Breizh series. It is a compact but well-grounded Breton dance-music date, with the artist identity and setting both clearly supported.
Apéro Breizh in Lesconil: MADÈN at the Port
The 28 July Apéro Breizh at Lesconil port is dedicated to MADÈN. The source describes the group as dance-oriented, blending traditional melodies with percussive grooves and drawing on texts in Gallo, French and Creole from Réunion. That detail gives the event a more precise cultural profile than a standard summer concert: Breton dance material is present, but the group also works with language, rhythm and wider Francophone references. Organized by the Plobannalec-Lesconil Town Hall, the evening keeps the port gathering format of Apéro Breizh while giving this date a distinct musical identity.
AFAP 50th Anniversary in Fougères: Fest-Deiz and Fest-Noz
AFAP marks its 50th anniversary in Fougères with a day built around Breton music, dance and community performance. The official programme announces activities and shows during the day, a fest-deiz, then a large Fest-Noz at the Château de Fougères from 8 p.m. The evening line-up includes Les Mariolles, Kaïffa, Talec/Noguet and Fahrenheit, with the Fest-Noz listed at 8 euros. Framed by the castle and by an association anniversary, the event has a clear local identity: it is a public celebration of AFAP’s cultural work and a dance gathering anchored in the Fougères Breton scene.
Guerlesquin Night Market: Artisans, Producers and Live Music
Guerlesquin’s night market brings artisans, producers and designers to Place du Martray every Friday from early July to mid-August. Around twenty stalls are planned, with jewelry, wooden objects, bags, personalized mugs, handmade lighting, vegan food, coffee, pastries, organic fruit and vegetables, yogurts, charcuterie and cheeses. Music gives each evening its public rhythm: Rigal-Cheul open the series with Breton music, followed by Phil’s Guitaroké and Les Inattendus later in July. The market uses the town’s Cité de Caractère setting as more than a backdrop; it turns the square into a weekly summer rendezvous.
