The Lorient Interceltic Festival, considered to be the world's largest Celtic gathering, came to a close on August 13, after 10 days of festivities dedicated to Celtic music.
With Ireland as this year's guest of honor, the Lorient Inter-Celtic Festival attracted over 900,000 visitors and featured over 300 concerts in a warm and friendly atmosphere. The Bagad de Lorient, Brieg Guerveno, the Celkilt group, Hubert-Félix Thiéfaine, I Muvrini, the Interceltic Scottish Pipe Band, Sian and Suzanne Vega were just some of the performers at this 52nd edition.
