Find the complete diary of the Interceltic Watersport Festival soon! Since their creation in 1995 in Brittany by “Nautisme en Finistère”, the Interceltic Watersports Games have been organised each year by one of the Celtic regions of Western Europe. After the 2003 edition in the Bay of Morlaix, the games are back to where it all started from July 13th to 22nd. As in 2003The sports organizations and regional institutions of Brittany, Finistère and the Pays de Morlaix have committed themselves to organising this large-scale event. A special task force of the Pays de Morlaix will help organizing the event with the technical support of “Nautisme en Finistère”. The increasing success of the games has attracted non-Celtic countries and regions to this major event. Now the Games have the full name of “Interceltic and Atlantic European Watersports Games”. In Cornwall, for the 2006 edition, more than 700 competitors came from 11 regions across Europe such as the Isle of Man, Wales, Scotland, Brittany, Galicia, Asturias, the Basque country - Euskadi , Ireland , Cornwall and Portugal. This year, Normandy, the Canaries and Cantabria (Portugal) have been invited to participate, totalling 13 regions. The Celtic Watersports Festival is a great opportunity to watch many watersports at the same time and within easy reach. 700 competitors will compete in Rowing, Sand yachting, surfing, kayaking, diving, sailing, … But, as in each edition, culture, the maritime and economic activities will be highlighted in the course of the games. Find all the information concerning the Celtic Market, events and Concerts and Traditional Boats on the pages of this website.
