2026 Edition: A World Tour of Carnivals
For its new edition, running from Saturday, September 12th to Sunday, September 20th, 2026, the Foire Expo des Côtes-d'Armor invites you on a "colorful journey through the Carnivals of the World." For nine days, the Saint-Brieuc exhibition center at the Brézillet convention center transforms into a hub of discovery, networking, and festivities, featuring exhibitors, entertainment, themed areas, and moments to share with family and friends.
The inauguration takes place on Saturday, September 12th at 10:00 AM, with free entry for everyone until 12:00 PM.
The "Carnivals of the World" Exhibition
At the heart of the fair, an immersive trail explores the world of carnivals: masks, costumes, traditions, rhythms, and colors. From Venice to Rio, and from the Caribbean to Europe, the exhibition is designed to amaze visitors of all ages, all without leaving Saint-Brieuc.
Fair Highlights
Over 200 exhibitors are expected across sectors including home improvement, gastronomy, automotive, wellness, leisure, and regional innovation. The Recreational Vehicle Show will present the 2027 models as a preview—camper vans, panel vans, and motorhomes—with Breton dealers such as Antilope VAN, Bonjour Caravaning, Jacqueline Camping-car (Plénée-Jugon), Libertium Saint-Brieuc, Masters Espace Camping-Cars, and Glémée Caravanes. The Sports Village, hosted by CDOS 22 and the local sports movement, offers initiations, demonstrations, and fun activities across more than 20 disciplines.
Dining On-Site
Restaurants, food trucks, and bars are open throughout the event: Éric Jouan (land and sea), Le Marrakech (oriental flavors), the Confrérie des Chevaliers de la Coquille Saint-Jacques, Jean de Rocamadou (South-West), and bars like Les Barriques sur Pattes, Ti Kréol, and the Bar de la K'Fête located in the heart of the Carnival of the World village, as well as food trucks Ô Tabarnak! (Quebec cuisine) and "Une frite, une fois!"
