PARKING AT THE FESTIVAL

For the safety of all festivalgoers, the entry of cars into the site of Fest Jazz is strictly limited.  Only artists, technicians and disabled people with an official, serious disability card can enter.  This card must be confirmed in advance by writing to  . 

Parking areas are provided in town around the Salle ar Sterenn, rue des Fontaines. These parking areas are signposted. There is a shuttle bus (free!) to and from the Festival site, every 10 minutes during the 4 days of the festival.

PLEASE DO NOT PARK ON THE MAIN ROAD IN FRONT OF THE FESTIVAL ENTRANCE. You will receive a fine of 80€.

To go on foot to and from the festival site and the town, use the steps just in front of the Tourist Office. It is very pretty, and it takes 5 minutes to walk down to the site.  Longer to come back, as it’s quite steep! If necessary, you can get a shuttle bus from the site.

DO NOT WALK ON THE MAIN ROAD, DOWN THE HILL. There is no pavement, and it is very dangerous!

CASHLESS

As in nearly all festivals nowadays, Fest Jazz is “cashless”.  At the entry to the festival, at the Ticket Office, you must buy a card with your bank card or cash, which you then use to buy drinks, crepes and snacks. You can recharge your card when you wish.

Please note, you will still need cash for the Food Trucks.
