Pardon de Luzunin is a compact expression of Breton religious and village continuity. A procession to the fountain gives the event its sacred path, while the shared meal roots the gathering in sociability as well as devotion. Its importance comes from scale and persistence: a lieu-dit, a fountain, a table and a community repeating inherited gestures.

Marche Cuisine in Ploubalay
Marché cuisiné turns the Ploubalay market into a practical portrait of local food culture. Producers, farmers, retailers, restaurateurs, associations and chefs appear together, showing how supply, cooking and communal eating connect. Stalls, prepared dishes and shared tables make the gathering less like a simple market and more like a public tasting of Beaussais-sur-Mer’s culinary network.
Cali Revoltes et Amour fou
Cali brings Révoltes et Amour fou to Quimperlé with Catalan guitarist Pierre-Andre de Vera, revisiting his own repertoire and songs tied to revolt, solidarity and hope. Voice, guitar and text give the evening its intimate scale. La Loco provides a close setting for a leading figure in contemporary French chanson.
Rallye Solex in Quiberon
Rallye Solex turns the Quiberon peninsula into a cheerful procession of vintage machines, costumes and club culture. Decorated Solexes carry a retro mechanical memory through the landscape, while the public side of the ride gives the event its festive tone. Local passion, humour and shared nostalgia for small engines give the procession its unmistakable peninsula character.
Sur des Chardons Ardents
Sur des Chardons Ardents returns to Lianver with a programme that honours its fest-noz roots while opening toward electric and alternative sounds. The anniversary of the dance night gives the festival a clear Breton anchor, even as the line-up crosses styles. Fest-noz memory, cider-country conviviality and adventurous stage culture remain in productive tension throughout the programme.
Fete de la Sardine
Fete de la Sardine in Saint-Guenole ties food, harbour life and Breton music into one port celebration. Grilled sardines, sea shanties by Gwen Aod, the Stones Land Pipe Band and a grand fest-noz with Jean-Charles Guichen, War-Sav and Zonj give the event a strong maritime and dance identity. It also supports memory work around the Square Tower, rooting festivity in place.
Galerie Metairie Visit
Galerie Metairie in Scaer brings together minerals, historic cameras, paintings, photographs and collections assembled across different fields of interest. Breton costumes give the display a strong regional anchor, preserving forms of dress and material detail within a wider cabinet of curiosities. The unusual juxtapositions reward close looking and show how a small local gallery can hold fragments of social, technical and visual memory.
Jeanne Malivel Craft Conference
This conference places Jeanne Malivel at the centre of the Breton applied arts revival. Historian Olivier Levasseur examines her projects and the role of artisans and industrial partners, often from the Côtes-d’Armor, in renewing regional forms. Malivel’s work connects modern design and craft production with the search for a distinctly Breton visual language.
Sonneurs Exhibition Guided Visit
This guided exhibition visit focuses on sonneurs, the biniou and bombarde players who have long set Breton gatherings in motion. Paintings, photographs, drawings, engravings and sculptures reveal how artists responded to the musicians’ sound, presence and social role. Seen together in Le Faouet, the works connect instruments, costume and collective memory, showing why these paired players became such enduring figures in Brittany’s visual culture.
Cuisine Breizh Workshop
This Cuisine Breizh workshop links cooking, tasting and book culture through Fanny Le Hir’s Breton recipes. Seaweed tartare, seaweed butter and Breton cake place the session between shore ingredients and household baking memory. Hosted in Primelin, it is a small but precise food heritage event, showing how edible sea plants and familiar cakes can carry regional identity.
