Festival de Cornouaille

hair To the so-called Festival des Reines continued to dress the Breton bards Taldir, Jaffrenou and Botrel were present, as were the folk dancers Plozévet.

After the pageant, accompanied by piano and violin, was a dinner for 300 guests, and the festival ended with a grand ball, where the gavotte was mixed with the Charleston.

In 1948 a sixteen-year-old girl was elected festival queen, provoking criticism from the Roman Catholic Church.

Since the 1950s, the festival has developed into a Welsh Eisteddfod-inspired celebration of Breton culture, language, literature, and music.

In 1992, the famous guitarist Dan Ar Braz, a native of Quimper, was asked to organize the festival's music.
