11H | Centre-bourg
Traditional parade, full of colors
The parade of the bridal shower will follow this year a new route from the Museum of salt marshes. The procession of two couples of salt workers riding Breton horses accompanied by the dances of the Celtic circles of Bannalec, Lorient, Bain-sur-Oust, Clisson, Croisic and Batz-sur-Mer, will parade to the sound of the bombards and bagadous bagpipes of Hennebont, d'Argentré-du-Plessis, de Redon and de la Presqu'île, going up the rue Pasteur, the rue Charles de Gaulle, he will cross the place du Garnal to turn behind the church and join the small street Saint-Jean and the street Maupertuis to reach the park of the Petit Bois.

12H TO 22H | Esplanade Salies-de-Béarn:

At 12:15 PM The musical festivities will resume with the concert of the highly appreciated local group: "Les Dégâts d'Chez Nous".

AFTERNOON The afternoon show promises to be once again of a high level, because all the groups present will present choreographies and musical performances of great quality.
19H15 Novelty to close the afternoon show: the Celtic circle «Olivier de Clisson» will offer its street show by wandering, from the port of Saint-Michel to the Petit Bois.
In the perpetual concern to make this festival evolve to reach the widest possible audience, the association Saint-Guénolé proposes a concert of Celtic rock and will have the pleasure to welcome the famous group of "Vrillés"!

20H45 CONCERT "LES VRILLÉS"
(Celtic rock)
8 Breton musicians: kilts, energy and fiery overflowing, shared good mood, electrified guitars, bombard and wild bagpipes; this is the recipe of these unbridled artists.
In short, everything that matters in life: a pinch of Brittany and a large bowl of humor. With the 'Vrillés' you will swallow a large bowl of Breton-style salted water. Icing on the cake, the ringers of Hennebont’s bagad will join their friends from the «Vrillés» on the stage of this concert that promises to move!
