Lorient Océans

Lorient Océans: The Sea Festival in Lorient Roadstead

Created in 2022, Lorient Océans has become in just a few editions the major maritime event of Lorient and its roadstead. The festival is positioned at the crossroads of maritime culture, live performance, and ocean awareness, offering a rich and varied program for all audiences.

A Festival Between Land and Sea

The festival unfolds between La Base, the former submarine base site in Lorient converted into a cultural and offshore racing hub, and the fishing port, one of the most important in France. This location allows the public to navigate between two complementary maritime worlds: large pleasure boating and offshore racing on one side, and professional and artisanal fishing on the other.

Maritime Parades and Activities

Maritime parades are one of the festival's highlights, with processions of traditional boats, sailboats, and military vessels in the Lorient roadstead. The public can also board for sea trips, visit exceptional boats, and attend nautical demonstrations.

Concerts and Culture

The festival offers a quality musical program with open-air concerts featuring nationally renowned artists. A free music stage complements the offering with local and regional bands. Film screenings, talks, and exhibitions enrich the cultural aspect of the event.

Activities for Everyone

Lorient Océans places great importance on family and educational activities: discovery workshops on maritime professions, sailing initiations, activities for children, an exhibitors' village, and gastronomic areas showcasing seafood products. Professional events bring together players from the maritime world for conferences and industry meetings.
