The Arvor Festivals are organised by the Vannes Festival Committee and celebrate Breton culture on 15th August every year.
Wednesday 13th, Thursday 14th and Friday 15th August
Vannes dedicates the 15th of August celebrations to Breton culture, expressing its most lively aspects. Breton shows, (25 circles and “bagadou” pipe-bands are invited), street entertainment, parades, ancient trades, ovations for the musicians, fest-noz and fireworks all fervently express the attachment of the ancient capital of the Duchy of Britanny to its traditions. A festive folk weekend.
