French Bar

A French Christmas market is never without some sort of mulled wine; at least in France. But not in Australia.

Our French bar will offer a selection of refreshing French red and white wines, Champagnes, Rose Sparkling, beer, and non-alcoholic beverages for you to enjoy after shopping as you embrace the ambience. 

Make sure you find some time to stop by the bar so we can wish you a “Joyeux Noël“!

le festival's featured artists and artisans

Our Marché de Noël will also have a dedicated artists’ corner. This will be an area to showcase creativity and illuminate originality at its best. 

The artist’s corner will offer a chance to both explore and immerse yourself in a little bit of French Christmas culture. 

All of these will also be local creators. At Le Festival, we very much support local businesses, so we are giving their talent a chance to shine.
