​In 2025, the Lorient Interceltic Festival is proud to welcome its cousins ​​from across the Atlantic: from Acadia to Louisiana via Quebec, New Brunswick, Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia, Boston and New York, the region of Lorient will vibrate with the accents of the American East Coast!

Since the 16th century, hundreds of thousands of Europeans have landed on American shores, and this continued until the 20th century. Pioneers, migrants, they came from all over the old continent, from France, Ireland and England to build a new life.​ Crossing the Atlantic often with meager material baggage, they also took with them their roots, their cultures...and they continued to bring them to life, to fantasize about them and to develop them over the years.

Cultural links with the communities of the Celtic lands of old Europe. 

The 2025 edition, 13 years after the last edition dedicated to our Acadian friends, will put the spotlight on our Celtic cousins ​​of the new world. An opportunity to celebrate the enthusiasm and energy of artists from across the Atlantic and to build cultural bridges between our two continents.Learn more about next year's festival​
