Live Entertainment

We have some “scène-sational” things on the horizon… Are you ready to be entertained the French way from morning to night at Le Festival 2025 this July?  

Dazzling performances, magnifique acts, spectacles of culture and music will light up our Entertainment program this year! A glittering curation of popular, indispensable Le Festival favourites – think CanCan, cabaret, French chanson, Polynesian dancers… dispersed with a sprinkling of new, very exciting feats of entertainment including some firsts… plus, there’ll be opportunities for you to be part of the show too! Battles, a crêpe party, dancing, and more! We’re definitely jazzing up our Main Stage this year, and don’t “mime” if we do also invite roving performers to stroll or cycle through with music, colour, and fun to add a touch of “joie de vivre” for your festival experience.  

On Saturday night, “Le Bal Populaire” will bring you into the action!

We CanCan not wait to share everything we have up our stripy sleeves for a French fête none of us will forget!
