A city punctuated by annual events

The town is home to a number of festivals, including the literary “Festival Livre et Mer”, the “Festival du Polar” and the famous “Festival des Filets bleus “, first held on Sunday September 10, 1905. This is Brittany’s oldest folk event. It was interrupted for only a few years during the two world wars. The festival takes its name from the color of the nets used by fishermen to trap sardines. When it was founded, the festival was first and foremost a charity set up by local notables and painters to help the families of fishermen affected by the disappearance of the sardine. Sardines were one of the main resources of the seafaring population of Concarneau, providing sustenance for entire families and employment for women and girls in local canneries and French fry shops. A stay at a campsite in Concarneau will be an ideal opportunity to join in the fun and festivities organized by the town.
