In May, Port de Commerce becomes a venue for Les Jeudis du Port. During this festival, visitors can listen to quality music and admire the street art. It is positioned as a family event where a friendly atmosphere always reigns, and this is evidenced by the fact that it is absolutely free of charge. However, despite this, musical bands play their hearts out, even better than at a commercial concert, since this is the festival for the soul. The festival has already gained popularity and is a great destination for many tourists.
In early August, fans of quality music gather at Parc Naturel Régional d'Armorique located near Brest for the sole sake of visiting Festival du Bout du Monde. People can listen to different music genres here, so everyone will have a chance to find music to his/her liking. The event is in the open air, and therefore campers gather here to spend time together. The event attracts many tourists, because it is positioned as a family and friendly festival where musicians have a kind of dialog with the audience. And they are really good at this!
In early November, all the media attention is focused on Brest European Short Film Festival. This event, as you can guess from the name, is dedicated to short films, and is the second most important event of its kind in France. Both professionals and novice filmmakers gather here, and this is a great event to establish contacts or learn more about the creative process of filmmaking. Within the framework of the festival there are three competitions (European, French and so-called UFO-OVNI), which determine the best short film. Films presented here are of various genres and intended for a wide range of age groups.
