The French Market and a Dance Party are returning to Brisbane this July 2022! Join us for an authentic French experience and share our ‘joie de vivre’
Rendez vous in Roma Street Parklands for our French “Christmas in July” Market on 23rd and 24th of July and at Riverlife for our Bastille Bay “Guinguette” (Ball) on 16th July 2022.
Look no further for your next French rendez-vous in Brisbane!
We were so excited to welcome you all to Le Festival once again for more French fun, frivolity, and festivities!
Unfortunately, for logistic and other reasons, which have posed several challenges for our team, we have made the difficult decision not to go ahead with our originally planned July events. We are disappointed, but we also always strive to deliver a quality, high standard, well-organised, and memorable event, that provides a positive experience for all involved, and is presented with the same passion, dedication, and spirit that we know and love.
So, for us, for our stakeholders, for our participants, and of course, for all of you, this was the most reasonable and best way to go – for now.
However, please be assured that we will be back very soon, and we hope you will still be here to help us celebrate the French way. In the meantime, make sure you are following us on social media to stay up to date for the latest Le Festival news. Stay tuned!
This is Le Festival after all, and we cannot stay away for too long! A bientot!
“Le Festival is a brilliant celebration of French entertainment, food, wine, Bastille Day, and so many things that les Français, Francophones, and Australians all enjoy. We’re proud to be an institutional partner. Félicitations to Le Festival on your tenth anniversary!”
Another great French Festival event this year, like all the previous ones.
It is very well-organised for the exhibitors, well-presented and clean for the visitors and relevant to the purpose of the French theme.
For many years now, Sofitel Brisbane Central has been happily associated with the Brisbane French Festival. It is a fantastic opportunity for us to join the biggest annual French gathering in Brisbane and showcase our common French identity to a very large crowd of enthusiastic Francophones and Francophiles.
Congratulations for another great edition!
Thank you very much to Le Festival's team and volunteers. Great organisation & really friendly staff.
We love this atmosphere and will definitely come back!
A bientôt & Merci!
The Festival was a terrific event for our business. It was extremely well-organised and managed by everyone involved (including all the wonderful volunteers) and we thought the exposure we had during the 2.5 days was well worth the pack-up and drive from Melbourne.
We’re already looking forward to next year - it has become our favourite Australian festival.
Over the past decade, for an eagerly anticipated weekend in July, Southbank’s Cultural Forecourt becomes a little corner of France. Le Festival has become one of the largest and most successful French Festivals in Australia. With a fabulous committee, the generous support of sponsors, and the enthusiasm of Francophiles from Brisbane and beyond, Le Festival gives visitors a real French experience in the heart of Brisbane. French Affair has been a part of Le Festival since the very beginning and we are proud to be part of this incredible event. We congratulate Le Festival on 10 magnifique years.
At Le Festival, there is a nice and relaxed atmosphere, the location in South Bank is perfectly chosen, and the program is varied, from master classes to Can Can performances, and much more in between. Le Festival offers a full immersion into French culture, especially from a culinary point of view with a variety of stalls offering French regional specialties. The wine pavilion is also an excellent way to discover or re-discover the big French wine-producing regions. Overall, Le Festival is the ideal place for lovers of France, its culture, and its gastronomy.Thank you again for these lovely moment.
Le Festival was such a wonderful week-end. So much happening ! Wine, champagne, cookery courses, great entertainment on the main stage for everyone to enjoy and of course the food with quintessential stalls. What I really enjoyed and made me so proud, was the way people embrace the Francophile atmosphere and just have a great time ! The organization of such an event is not easy but the team behind it does such a fantastic job under the guidance of Betty Moinet making it a must in the calendar.
