Festival Lockdown Update

C'est La Vie!

Due to the change in Public Health Orders announced yesterday, we are extremely disappointed to announce that the Bastille Day French Festival will not proceed as planned this weekend at Fed Square. The safety of the community remains our priority during this time.

In the spirit of the Revolution, though, nothing will keep us down and our fighting spirit will rise up!

Online Program To Enjoy While in Lockdown
We are thrilled to let you know we have a huge online program that you can tune into this weekend!

From Friday 16 July, you’ll be able to access our full online program for free via our website. Sit back, relax and enjoy some virtual joie de vivre with online treats including the documentary Home Shift Home, performances by soprano Lorena Stipani and pianist David McNicol, cooking by Gabriel Gâté, Jump by the Huxleys and more! All you need to do is head to our website Friday at 10am.

Les Lumières talks and Trivia will also move online. If you have a ticket, we will be in touch with all the Zoom details (the dates and times remain the same). If you don’t have a ticket, there is still time to book!

If you have a ticket for our Walking Tours, French Spirits and Cheese Masterclass and/or Delicieux: A French Market Lunch, we will be in touch to provide a refund.

See You Soon
This is not Au Revoir, it's just À Plus Tard!
While we can’t meet in person this weekend, we hope we can catch up online. We look forward to staying connected while distanced. To all our amazing sponsors, stallholders, volunteers and supporters, we thank you for your incredible support, passion and commitment.

Stay tuned!
