We're thrilled to celebrate 10 years of bringing a touch of France to Melbourne! For a decade, we've been providing a platform to showcase French culture, cuisine, wine and so much more. Get ready for a bigger and better festival experience this year as we commemorate this special milestone!
We know you love the delicious scent of croissants floating through the air (and/or taste) and are eager to learn more about French culture so lock the date in your calendar!
In this family friendly event you will “voyage” to the heart of France. The market will be packed with local French-Australian businesses, mouth-watering French cuisine, dazzling artists and performers, a cultural program filled with Les Lumières talks, Walking Tours and masterclasses, right in the heart of the city!
Throughout both days, together with the French Winter Market, Mimo the Mine will be roving the event space and wonderful performers from the French Circus Show will be on the main stage.
The French Circus School - a Circus School in French and English open to everyone! Creating weekly program for kids, incursions in kindergarten and schools!
