250,000 festival attendees in 2024
The box office for this associative festival, which will announce the rest of its programming in the coming weeks, opens on December 3, according to a press release. The 32nd edition brought together nearly 250,000 festival-goers in July 2024.
Tensions with the mayor of Carhaix (several leftists), Christian Troadec, threatened the future of the festival, until a conciliation meeting confirmed its continuation in this rural municipality in central Brittany (7,200 inhabitants).
The 31st edition broke an attendance record in 2023, with 346,000 participants over five days, one of the largest festivals in France. The economic benefits were estimated in 2019 at 18.5 million euros, of which 5 million for the Poher territory.
