Pain Since it was first held in 2009, the Fête de la Bretagne has become a key event in the annual calendar for both those with a fondness for Brittany and those who have chosen to share the best our region has to offer, from music and dance to gastronomy, nature and heritage. For the sixth consecutive year, the Conseil régional is supporting the promotion of over 300 events to be held both in Brittany and elsewhere in France and the world over the course of 4 days as part of this major festival, which still remains true to its unifying values of creativity, conviviality, solidarity and openness to others. In an area that ranks among the most active regions in terms of its vibrant community scene and involvement in voluntary work, the Fête de la Bretagne is also a unique opportunity to highlight the incredible energy of its 4,500 volunteers. through the various cultural events organised as part of the festival, which often involve people from different generations and members of the public, the Fête de la Bretagne helps bring life to the region as a whole and is keen to remain accessible to as many people as possible. With the event being promoted throughout Brittany, as well as elsewhere in France and abroad, these diverse forms of expression and this dynamism will only add to the appeal of our region once again this year.

Former circus school students Anouk and Erwan’s trials and tribulations led them to think about movement in all its forms, sound and dissonance, harmony and also rhythm, or the absence thereof. Of course, they had to do something with all this disorder, and so the Compagnie Omnibus was born in the henhouse adjoining the garden. The company is marking the Fête de la Bretagne by opening up its Big Top to various genres of music, including slam, jazz, funky veuze playing a waltz mash-up and even the spoken word, not to mention fire-breathers setting the stage alight, astrophysicists of the gavotte and Drum & Breizh, among other things.

The Bretons certainly like to travel! Having said that, even when they’re far from home, they never seem to lose their taste for all things Breton, as demonstrated by the creation and flourishing of various associations right around the world, some of which have been around for nigh-on a century or more. Every year, some of them, such as Bzh New York, Breizh Eire, Breizh Mex, Kevredigezh Bretoned Bro Vietnam, ZhongBreizh and now Kansaï Breizh and the Association Folklorica Cultural Trebolgu de Bretones en Asturias, organise various events to mark the Fête de la Bretagne. Like conquerors with a desire to raise awareness of and promote their homeland, they successfully organise a variety of festive events that attract Breton artists and businesses alike. Keep an eye on what they do and make a note of their contact details in your travel diary - if ever your paths should cross they would be sure to extend a warm welcome, just like back home!
