AberFest
AberFest is a Celtic cultural festival celebrating all things Cornish and Breton that takes place every second year in Cornwall, England, UK, around Easter. The AberFest Festival alternates with the Breizh – Kernow Festival which is held in Brandivy or Bignan in Brittany, alternating between those two Breton locations.
Both festivals are unusual in that the main focus of the events is on families and individuals from one country staying with families and individuals from the other, against a wide background of cultural activities.
An AberFest was last held at Easter 2014. The next AberFest will be 25 to 28 March 2016.
Background
Cornwall and Brittany have Celtic links going back centuries and have closely related Celtic languages and many other traditions that are practised in both countries. Both AberFest and the Breizh – Kernow Festival celebrate these cultures in their traditional and more recent forms.
5th–7th centuries saw a mass emigration of Cornish people to "Armorica." These people were to become the Breton people of modern Brittany. Their language was the Brythonic Celtic language that was to become Breton language (Breizhoneg) in Brittany, the Cornish language (Kernewek) in Cornwall and the Welsh language (Cymraeg) in Wales. Although they are separate languages today, they remain closely related.

Aberfest '10 - The Warm-up
Aberfest is a joint Cultural Celebration by the Breton and Cornish people held this year over the Easter weekend in Falmouth. It's a whole spectrum of events, but is centred around Music, Dance and cultural identity. It gives the people of Brittany and Cornwall a chance to reaffirm that shared cultural heritage. Here, the Turkey Rhubarb band with support from The Hornets, are warming up in the Methodist Church, prior to braving the wet and chilly Moor outside. To find out more, just go to www.Aberfest.org (but be warned it's a slightly chaotic website)

Aberfest 10 The Dances
A short comparison of Cornish and Breton Dance. First, Cornish, then Breton. If anyone out there can help me with their respective titles, I'd be grateful. This was a small part of Aberfest 2010, a celebration of shared cultural heritage between the people of Cornwall and Brittany. There were a wide selection of events both formal and informal.

Aberfest 10 - The Speech
A demonstration that the art of political oration is not dead, as Simon puts on his best Churchillian tones at Aberfest '10 in addressing his faithful (and somewhat bemused to be honest) followers.
