Interceltic Festival
Return to previous Page ›
The town of Lorient in Brittany hosts the Interceltic Festival, a spectacular annual showcase of the Celtic arts. The programme feature performers from Ireland, Scotland, Wales, Asturias, Galicia, the Isle of Man and Brittany.
On stage, in the street or under big tents, 260 events are played out in front of 300,000 spectators and the players are as diverse as they are gifted: traditional, classical, folk, rock and jazz musicians, singers, dancers, painters, sculptors, writers, filmmakers and lecturers.
Scheduled events range from the International Pipe Band Championship and National Breton Bagpipe Championship to fiddle and harp masterclasses and Celtic dance competitions. A special highlight is the traditional Breton Fest Noz - a night of music and dance - the local equivalent of the Scottish Ceilidh.
