Bonjour Brisbane !

The Embassy of France in Australia is proud to support “Le Festival – Brisbane French Festival”. Organised by the vibrant francophone and francophile community of Brisbane, Le Festival – Brisbane French Festival continues to thrive and has therefore skillfully imbedded itself as a major event in Brisbane. Boasting great success, it highlights not only the strength but outstanding growth of French contributions to the cultural landscape of Queensland. The increase of contributions like these can only reflect the ever-blossoming French-Australian dynamic truly present across all of Australia.
I greatly look forward to celebrating Bastille Day in South Bank next July!

Le Festival  has become over the years one of the most essential events in Brisbane to celebrate Bastille Day, showcasing French know-how and its Associations in all their diversity. It has become a link between the French and Australian communities.Congratulations to the organisers and volunteers who contribute fully to this Franco-Australian friendship.

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.

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.
