Le Festival's Petit Marché de Noël: Un "SUMMER" Festif

Noël, Noël… it’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas! 

Le Festival’s first ever Christmas Market is coming to Brisbane on November 20th and 21st.
For two days only, we will transform West Village to create a magical, French-themed mini Marché de Noël, illuminated in festive ‘bleu-blanc-rouge’!

Our festive summer event will be a chance not only to celebrate Christmas ‘a la française’, but also for local, unique, French-inspired talents to showcase their artistry. With two levels available for us, we have an opportunity to unleash creativity and fill the space with a specially selected array of twelve stalls, a French bar, roving entertainment, an artist and artisan corner, and more, to bring the festive, joyous, warm atmosphere that we all love at this time of year! 

We cannot imagine a more perfect way to come together and really immerse ourselves in the spirit of Christmas to kick off the festive season!

MARKET STALLS

Stalls are what make a market, a market! The main area of our Marché de Noël will comprise a specially selected array of 12 stalls, showcasing unique talent and quality French or French-inspired products from local creators and from France. There will also be a dedicated area for eight French or French-inspired artists and artisans to share their craft. 

Discover French-inspired creativity and find the perfect Christmas gift you were looking for. 

bar

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“!

croissants

artists' and artisan corner

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. 

cars

roving entertainment

A Christmas Market is also not the same without some festive melodies! Entertainment and music are what create that warm atmosphere we love. 

We will have a two groups of choirs and performers to provide festive cheer for you will you shop. With their harmonious talents and joyous tunes, they will really make it feel like Christmas!
