There's no denying that a stripy shirt is extraordinarily French – what you may not know is that this capsule wadrobe staple has its origins in the region of Brittany, the land of sweeping cliffs, rugged coastline and proud Celtic heritage. This February, you can find chic Breton navy sailor shirts aplenty in North Sydney, alongside traditional dance classes, live Celtic music, crêpes and plenty of cider for a an epic one-day-only celebration.
Taking over outdoor hub Sub Base Platypus, Brittany Down Under returns for its second iteration with live Celtic music by The Folksters, William Hutton and Louzco Fouzco, folk dancing and an unbeatable line-up of food – we’re talking fresh seafood, baguette sandwiches with paté hénaf, galettes and, of course, crêpes topped with house-made salted caramel sauce and their savoury counterpart, galettes, topped with ham, cheese, and egg (a true Brittany staple), courtesy of Four Frogs Crêperie.
Wash it all down with ice-cold drinks including beer, rosé and cider while you soak up the Sydney sunshine at the waterfront venue. Or, get amongst the festivities which include tournaments of Babyfoot (table football) and traditional Breton dance classes. Armor Lux will also be around slinging 'marinières' so that you can take home your very own stripy shirt.
Brittany Down Under runs from 10am to 5pm on Sunday, February 8 and is free to attend. Find out more here.
