The city is host to several events to celebrate its long maritime history. The largest of these is held every four years, when the town organises a [[tall ship]] meeting. The last such tall ship event was "Les Tonnerres de Brest 2016". Due to the [[COVID-19 pandemic]] the next event is planned for 2022.

Brest also hosts an annual short film festival called "[[Brest European Short Film Festival]]". The city was the setting for the 1982 art film ''[[Querelle]]'', directed by [[Rainer Werner Fassbinder]], itself based on the 1947 novel ''[[Querelle of Brest|Querelle de Brest]]'' by [[Jean Genet]].
