The Story of Fest Jazz<\/h2><\/div><\/div>\n\n

Fest Jazz began in 2003, when a group of local musicians created the band \u201cGood Time Jazz\u201d and started playing monthly sessions at the charming Auberge Tal ar Pont, right on the banks of the River Aulne.<\/p>\n

The sessions became legendary \u2014 packed, lively, and hugely popular for 14 years! Inspired by this success, the idea was born in 2005 to create a jazz festival in this beautiful corner of Brittany.<\/p>\n

From the very beginning, the goal was simple: create a festival that feels relaxed, friendly and full of life \u2014 very different from the formal atmosphere of many traditional jazz festivals.<\/p>\n

Today, four stages line the riverside. Festival-goers wear a wristband and wander freely from stage to stage, following the music and the mood wherever they lead.The first festival welcomed 500 spectators. In 2025 \u2014 our 20th anniversary edition \u2014 more than 6,000 people joined the party.
Fest Jazz has truly taken flight!<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n
