Exciting Program Announcements

As we edge ever closer to the dates of the Festival (only a few weeks now!), we will only have more and more to announce from our program. We hope to create joie de vivre with you soon!

Delicieux! A French Market Lunch

Bastille Day French Festival is serving up Delicieux - A French Market Lunch Saturday 17 July as part of our Festival! We invite you to join a bespoke tour of the best French market goods, direct from our French Winter Market to you, while you dine banquet-style in The Edge. There will be a host of delicacies to sample, before service of Delicieux's signature dessert dish along with barrel-aged Armagnac from Spirits of France. The vendors will be equally available following lunch should you wish to buy any of the products you will have tried!
To set the ambiance, the lunch will also be accompanied by a musical performance by French-born performer (and radio announcer at 3RRR) Edith Vignal. It’s lunch, and it's French. Not to be missed!

French Trivia

Are you a savant for all things French? A general trivia buff who likes to show their prowess? In any case, we are pleased to be hosting a classic session of trivia in our Festival venue - The Edge! The format will include two 20 minute rounds of trivia, with questions in English. But fear not, as our French-speaking host will gladly translate if need be!

Bouygues 'Art Frolic'

When you can't be overseas, come be a tourist in your own city!
Kicking off at Fed Square, incorporating a significant French artist's public sculpture, our French speaking guide will take you through an artfully designed CBD site, a French touring animation show, among other fantastic highlights! The tour will then return to Le Bar at Fed Square for un petit verre de vin chaud (mulled wine) - redeemable with your ticket!
Ideal if French is your native tongue, but of course English will also be available. Book below!
