Festival de Kleg

The Festival de Kleg: when central Brittany dances

For nearly 40 years, the Festival de Kleg has been a must-attend event for lovers of traditional music and dance in Brittany. Organized by the association En Arwen, the festival takes over the town of Cléguérec, in the heart of Morbihan, every spring for three days of music, dance, and conviviality.

A program dedicated to dance and trance

The Festival de Kleg offers a program that blends traditional Breton music with sounds from elsewhere: world music, jazz, experimental music, and hybrid creations. This artistic openness, while remaining rooted in tradition, offers a rich and inventive musical panorama that makes the festival unique.

Fest-noz and concerts

The fest-noz, these traditional Breton balls inscribed in UNESCO's intangible cultural heritage, are at the heart of the festival. They take place every evening on the fest-noz stage, bringing together experienced and novice dancers in an electric atmosphere. In parallel, the concert stage hosts more experimental groups and original musical proposals.

A family-friendly and popular festival

The Festival de Kleg cultivates a family-friendly and accessible atmosphere. A show for young audiences is offered each year, and admission is free for children under 15. The singing meal, a moment of conviviality around the table, is a festival tradition. Competitions and singing workshops complete the program.

Three days, two stages, twenty groups

Each edition brings together around 22 groups and formations, a bagad (Breton music ensemble), a DJ, and numerous duos and soloists, spread across two stages over three days. The festival offers a mix of styles and energies that makes Cléguérec the musical epicenter of central Brittany for a weekend.
