A friendly festival in the heart of the bay of Saint-Brieuc
Folies en Baie is a family and intergenerational festival held every first weekend of August in the village of Hillion, in Côtes-d'Armor. Since its creation, this summer event celebrates the culture, gastronomy, and heritage of the bay of Saint-Brieuc through three days of concerts, activities, and festivities.
Music, mussels, and good cheer
The festival unfolds its program on three stages: a paid main stage hosting headliners, and two free areas open to all ages. The Balade & Moules, a signature of the festival, is a gourmet and humorous walk to discover local producers, before tasting the famous moules de bouchot from the bay. In 2024, over 2 tons of mussels and 2 tons of fries were served to festival-goers.
