- Fest-Noz (traditional night dances) — The heart of the festival: communal Breton dances led by live musicians. No need to be a pro — you’ll pick up the steps from the person next to you, the music is hypnotic (bombarde, biniou, accordion), and the mood is embarrassingly joyful and inclusive well into the night.
- Bagadoù and pipe-band performances — Massive, tightly arranged ensembles of bagpipes, bombardes and drums produce a raw, driving sound you won’t hear anywhere else. It’s both a musical showcase and a display of regional pride: powerful, loud, and oddly moving.
- Traditional costume parade — Hundreds of participants in intricate regional costumes and coiffes march through town. It’s a living museum of Breton identity: colors, embroidery and headpieces that tell local stories — great

- Celtic workshops and artisan stalls — Hands-on workshops (dance, instrument taster sessions, folk singing) and local craftspeople selling textiles, woodwork and instruments. It’s the place to try something new, learn a few steps or take home a real, handmade souvenir.
- Local food and convivial street eats — Crêpes, galettes, kouign-amann, cider and fresh seafood set the festival’s rhythm: grab something from a stall, sit by the cathedral or riverside and watch the parades. The food scene makes the whole event taste like Brittany — rustic, generous and impossible to resist.
