Binic Fête la Morue

Tribute to the Terre-Neuvas

Binic Fête la Morue celebrates the heritage of the Terre-Neuvas, those sailors from Binic who, for centuries, braved the Atlantic storms to go cod fishing on the banks of Newfoundland and Iceland. This maritime epic, which has profoundly marked the identity of Binic-Étables-sur-Mer, is at the heart of this biennial festival organized on Ascension weekend.

Gastronomy and Maritime Heritage

The festival offers a rich program combining gastronomy and maritime culture:

• Cod tastings: accras, brandade, cod à la bretonne, and other specialties prepared by local associations.
• Sea shanty concerts: sea shanty groups liven up the quays and port streets.
• Conferences on the history of cod fishing in the region.
• Exhibitions highlighting local maritime heritage.
• Discovery of maritime trades: workshops and demonstrations.
• Activities for children: games, creative workshops.
• Artisan market and local products.

An Event Supported by Local Associations

Binic Fête la Morue is organized by a collective of eight local associations, demonstrating the event's local roots and convivial spirit. The port and streets of Binic vibrate to the rhythm of sea shanties, salty flavors, and Breton good cheer. Admission is free, making the festival accessible to all.
