Fest Noz

The Fest Noz (translation: Festival of the Night) is a Breton traditional festival, similar to a céilí.

There is traditional music, dancing and drinking, particularly of chouchen, a traditional drink made from fermenting honey in water.

Although the traditional dances of the Fest Noz are very old, dating back to the Middle Ages, the tradition of Fest Noz is more recent, being invented in the 1950s.
