Onion festival in Roscoff : 20-22 August
Gastronomy
The onion trade really took off in the 1830's thanks to the onion merchants known as 'Johnnies', who crossed the English channel to sell their onions door to door. This major festival celebrating the pink onion honours their memory over two days, and celebrates these onions which are still grown in the traditional way and remain the pride and joy of the local townspeople..
