Brest fête la Marine – 400 ans de la Marine à Brest

In 2026, the French Navy celebrates 400 years of history. To mark the occasion, Brest en vue and the French Navy are co-organising "Brest fête la Marine", a free, popular event with a real ambition: to shine the spotlight on the French Navy, a major player in Brest. The Quai Malbert will host a lively village of workshops, demonstrations, exhibitions, meetings and visits to emblematic boats, including the Belem, the Étoile, the Mutin and a BSAM from the French Navy. Concerts, shows, musical entertainment and a "guinguette" area will round off this convivial programme, true to the art of living in Brest. This celebration will also mark a key milestone before the Fêtes maritimes de Brest next year and the 400ᵉ anniversary of the Brest naval base in 2031.
