Bayonne Festival – 1-5 August

During this five-day Basque festival around one million people visit the small town of Bayonne, dressed in the traditional attire of white pants, white shirt and red scarf. Visitors join in the street party, watch Bandas concerts and Landaise cow racing, indulge in food specialities and view the bullfights, held during the weekend in Les Arènes.

 

Stay at siblu’s La Réserve holiday parc in Gastes, within driving distance of Bayonne, from just £1,326 for a seven-night stay in three-bedroom holiday home accommodation that sleeps up to eight. The parc has its own pools, sports facilities and boating lake, so you can combine a day at the festival with a relaxing sunshine holiday.

Interceltic Festival in Lorient - 3-12 August

Brittany’s Celtic roots run deep, and this annual festival in Lorient features performers from Ireland, Scotland and Wales. There are over 260 diverse music and art events, including the Breton Bagpipe Championship and the Fest Noz, Brittany’s answer to the Scottish Ceilidh.
