Cornouaille Festival

In 1923 Celtic sounds were almost unknown. The Cornwall Festival took a firm decision to extol Breton culture and diversity. Although it has been more than eight decades, it still stands. In the 20s things were a little different. Britons were considered rednecks, it was kitsch to see the queen of Filets Bleus, Concarneau parade, "seedy" to take part in the Pont d'Or Ajons Aven and outdated to admire the embroidery on the Pont l'Abbé. Nontheless, they all paraded through the streets of Quimper. This kicked off a long history of this octogenarian festival that gives so much satisfaction to its nearly 250,000 visitors: concerts, shows, bagads, and musicians and dancers parading in their traditional costumes.
