Opening and welcome of the fleets

On Monday, the fleets will be welcomed at the Opening Ceremony: from the Port-Navalo lighthouse, the starting gun will be fired in the middle of the afternoon. All the boats present will gather with the Tall Ships flotilla off Méaban, then take the Grand Chenal to escort them as they enter the Gulf.

‘Ile d'Arz Tuesday

The ever-popular ‘Arz Island Day’ will bring together dozens and dozens of boats docking on the island in the late morning. Hundreds of crews, as well as well-informed visitors, will enjoy a large picnic in the wooded field overlooking the slipways and the beach. They will also share a festive moment with the local community to the rhythm of sea chanteys, Breton dances and Dutch musicians.

First flotilla sailings

Flotilla sailing begins, with a programme adapted to the specific characteristics of each boat. Sculling contests, challenges, a tour of the Île-aux-Moines and the Passage du Gué will set the pace for these moments at sea!

Flotilla sailing

Evenings in the various flotilla ports of call.

Saturday 31 May 2025, afternoon

Grand Parade

In the middle of the day, taking advantage of the ebb tide, the boats converge on the exit from the Gulf and position themselves off Les Méabans. When the current reversal is well established, at around 17:00, they enter the Narrows between Locmariaquer and Port-Navalo. Reserved exclusively for boats entered in the ‘Semaine du Golfe’, the parade fleet is organised into four groups, each flanked by two spectacular sailing boats: one leading the way to guide the smaller boats, the other closing the way.

- - Kévrenn Alré / Cercle Celtique d'Auray (Bagad and Breton music)
- - Founded in 1951 by railway workers from Auray, Kevrenn Alré is one of the oldest and most prestigious traditional Breton music and dance ensembles.
    
    The Auray circle is a genuine dance school in its own right. The group's attachment to its Alréenne, Haute-Vannetaise and Breton culture in general, and to dance in particular, has led it on many occasions to put on emblematic shows that will live long in the public's memory. It was runner-up in the dance championship in 2007, 2010 and 2016, and finished in third place for several years (in 2008, 2009, 2011, 2012 and 2013).
    
    Kevrenn Alré has been competing in the elite Excellence category for over 30 years, and is the second most successful group in the Kendalc'h confederation.
