The Brest International Maritime Festival is back 8 years after its last edition, with a concrete commitment in terms of its societal and environmental responsibility.
Like a number of festivals across France, which have managed to adopt a proactive approach towards the societal and environmental challenges, Brest 2024 is also targeting a sustainability approach that has its finger on the pulse of modern-day events, as initiated by its organisation team.
