Méliscènes 2026 Festival

Get ready... Méliscènes returns to amaze young and old alike with 31 shows, over 70 performances, workshops to create, meetings to dream, and a gigantic participatory project: Un Appétit de Géant by the company Les Grandes Personnes!

Organized by the Ville d'Auray - Centre Culturel Athéna, in partnership with AQTA and the 24 communes of the region, the festival spreads its magic throughout the intercommunal area.
