About Terres Fertiles
The Festival des Terres Fertiles is a free music festival held every third weekend of September in Lanvaudan, a charming village of thatched cottages in the Morbihan region. Concerts take place in garages, barns, the old rectory, and private homes throughout the village. Around a dozen pop-up stages host 70 bands and troupes for an audience of about 4,000 people. The program features concerts, fest-noz, and theater performances. The 21st edition took place on September 20 and 21, 2025; the association is taking a break in 2026 and plans to return in 2027.
Terres Fertiles — edition 2026
There will be no Festival des Terres Fertiles in 2026. In the January 2026 issue of the Lanvaudan municipal newsletter, the organizers announced they are taking a break this year and are preparing for a return in 2027. Consequently, the festival will not take place on September 19 and 20, 2026.
No 2026 edition: the festival is taking a break
There will be no Festival des Terres Fertiles in September 2026. In Lanvaudan's municipal newsletter No. 35, published in January 2026, the association stated: "As for the festival, even though the inclement weather did not discourage musicians or spectators last September, we have decided to take a break to recharge our batteries for 2027."
The 2026 events calendar published by the town hall confirms this absence: for September, it only lists the palet tournament on Saturday the 5th and a general meeting on Friday the 25th. Terres Fertiles is only mentioned once, for a pizza and brioche sale at the bread oven on Saturday, May 30th.
The most recent edition was the 21st, held on September 20 and 21, 2025, themed around comic books: on Saturday, concerts on the main stage in the heart of the village starting at 5:00 PM, followed by a meal, refreshments, and a wine bar, then a fest-noz at the farm from 8:00 PM; on Sunday, concerts on stages scattered throughout the village starting at 2:00 PM. The next event is scheduled for 2027.

Traffic and parking
The village center is closed to traffic on Sunday afternoon to allow visitors to walk between stages. The village is small, and everything is within a few minutes' walking distance.
Food and drink
Meals, drinks, and a wine bar are available on Saturday evening; food and drinks are available on Sunday.
Accessibility
Since concerts are held in private homes, courtyards, and barns, access for wheelchair users may be difficult due to thresholds, steps, and dirt paths. Please contact the organizers to find out which stages are accessible.
What to bring
The festival is designed for walking from one stage to another, so please wear comfortable shoes.
A festival inside village homes
In Lanvaudan, a village of about 800 residents, the Festival des Terres Fertiles doesn't take place on a single enclosed site, but throughout the village itself: in garages, barns, the old rectory, longhouses, courtyards, and gardens. Around a hundred volunteers open their homes, yards, and barns to amateur and professional musicians. A dozen temporary stages are set up for the occasion, hosting 70 bands and troupes for an audience of about 4,000 people per edition.
The weekend schedule
The festival runs over the third weekend of September and is free to attend. On Saturday, a main stage is set up in the heart of Lanvaudan: concerts start at 5:00 PM, with food, drinks, and a wine bar, followed by a fest-noz at the farm starting at 8:00 PM. On Sunday, the village center is closed to traffic, and the scattered stages host performances starting at 2:00 PM for an afternoon of wandering; food and drinks are available on-site.
What to expect
The lineup includes sea shanty choirs, rock, poetic singer-songwriters, Breton music, and theater. Each edition has a theme: comic books were the focus for the 21st edition on September 20 and 21, 2025.
Lanvaudan, a village of thatched cottages
Lanvaudan is one of the best-preserved thatched-roof villages in the Morbihan: stone houses with thatched roofs and flower-lined alleys. This architecture serves as the backdrop and concert hall for the festival.
No event in 2026
In the January 2026 municipal bulletin of Lanvaudan, the association announced it would be taking a break this year: "We have decided to take a break to recharge our batteries for 2027." The next festival is expected in 2027.
