The fest-noz is one of the most famous festivals in Brittany and has even been listed as a Cultural Heritage Site since 2012. The fest-noz is the Breton word for « night festival », as opposed to the fest-deiz « day festival ». We take every opportunity to dance and sing in moments of great conviviality, to celebrate great events such as pardons, weddings… in one word, to enjoy life.
The main pardons and festivals near Bénodet:
The pardons of St Anne (last Sunday in July), St Guénolé (1 Sunday in August), Kerbader (3rd Sunday in August), or Glénan (1st Sunday in September) are an opportunity to immerse yourself in an authentic and original culture.
Rock, folk, literary or film festivals… you will be surprised by the diversity of the great Breton events that take place in the region.
Whether they are large or small, indoor or outdoor, during the day or at night, year-round or seasonal, there are many markets in South of Finistère.
