Immerse yourself with the finest French and Francophile performers from Australia. We bring the heart and soul of France by inviting the best to perform on our Channel 7 main stage. This year, Le Festival will kick off the Friday night by introducing Ben Noir’s French Cabaret show to start the weekend with a bang.
From can-can girls to Polynesian dancers and from traditional to unconventional acts, Le Festival will bring all types of French performers throughout the entire weekend. On Sunday, we will introduce a more relaxed atmosphere with Julia Paul and Tyssia from New Caledonia who will capture the stage with their sophisticated voice.
