Festival l'Échappée

A traveling festival rooted in its territory

The Festival l'Échappée is a traveling cultural event supported by Baud Communauté in Morbihan. Each year, the festival settles in a different municipality in the territory, thus creating a strong link between the artistic programming and the places that host it. After Baud, Camors, Melrand, it is Guénin that will host the 4th edition in 2026.

Live performance and openness to the world

The program of L'Échappée combines music, dance, theater, and multidisciplinary artistic forms. Each edition explores a strong cultural theme: in 2026, the festival will highlight the connections linking Africa, the Caribbean, and Brittany through performances that celebrate joy, sharing, encounters, and the duty of remembrance.

Accessible programming

Access to the festival site is free. The performance program is partly free and partly paid. This pricing policy allows as many people as possible to enjoy the event and discover artists from various backgrounds.

Beyond the performance

The Festival l'Échappée is not limited to the stage. A market of local producers and artisans is organized on Friday evening, while a biodiversity village dedicated to birds is offered on Saturday, accompanied by public awareness actions for environmental protection.

A sustainable commitment

The festival carries a sustainable development charter entitled “L'Échappée Durable”, which commits the event to a responsible approach: waste management, short circuits for catering, promotion of soft mobility, and public awareness of environmental issues.

A highlight of the Pays de Baud

L'Échappée relies on a network of committed volunteers mobilized to bring this cultural highlight to life. The festival calls on volunteers each year for reception, logistics, and entertainment, thus contributing to creating a collective dynamic around the event.

Unique venues

In 2026, the festival will take over the annex football field in Guénin and partly the ManÉvel hall, offering a rural and friendly setting. This implantation in unusual places is part of the identity of L'Échappée, which transforms each space into a place for performance and meeting.
