A historic festival for Concarneau and the Brittany region

Festival des Filets Bleus The next Festival des Filets Bleus will take place in Concarneau from Wednesday 14th to Sunday 18th August. Historically, it is the oldest festival in Brittany, and even in France, which is why it is so important and recognized by festival-goers.

Originally, this event was intended to be a charity festival after a particularly difficult year in 1904 for the inhabitants of Concarneau, who then lived exclusively from sardine fishing. The idea, which was proposed by Mr Billette de Villeroche, has particularly attracted many Concarnois, but also Parisian tourists who had become attached to the city during their various holidays.

The initiative was launched in 1905, including an auction of masterpieces, whose goal was to raise funds for families in need. As time went on, the festival offered many new activities, including concerts in partnership with recognized artists wishing to participate in this event, which has attracted over 70,000 festival-goers in recent years.
