Vieilles Charrues Festival
Encyclopedia
The Vieilles Charrues Festival is held every year in mid-July in the city of Carhaix located in the west of Brittany
.
This festival
is the largest music festival in France, attracting more than 200,000 festival-goers every year (240,000 in 2010). This festival was created in 1992 in Landeleau
, a small village in central Finistère
. At that time, less than 500 revellers attended and the festival was more like a private party. The following year, the festival welcomed more than 2000 and that was the beginning of its success story. In 1995, due to lack of space on the original site, the festival moved to Carhaix city center and in 1998, for the same reason, the festival chose a site on the outskirts of Carhaix.
