The Festival of Brittany in Saint-Cast-le-Guildo
Every year in May, Saint-Cast-le-Guildo celebrates the Festival of Brittany (Gouel Breizh) with a program rich in traditions and music. Organized by the Bagad Salicornes, this event brings together Bretons and friends of Brittany for a fest-noz and parades of bagadou and Celtic circles through the streets of the seaside resort.
Fest-noz and traditional music
The heart of the festival is the fest-noz, a large open-air Breton dance evening at the Stade Nicolardot. Traditional music groups — duos, trios, and fest-noz ensembles — get the audience dancing to tunes of gavotte, an dro, and plinn. The fest-noz is accompanied by refreshment stands and on-site catering.
Parades and bagadou concerts
On Sunday, a grand parade of bagadou and Celtic circles winds through the streets of Saint-Cast-le-Guildo, culminating in the Triomphe des Sonneurs, bringing together all the participating groups. Among the invited ensembles over the years: the Bagad de Lann Bihoue, the Bagad Douar Ha Mor, the Bagad de Lehon, the Cercle des Embruns, and the Cercle de Frehel.
