Brisbane French Festival 2017

Overview

Everyone's favourite annual celebration of France is back for another year. That'd be Le Festival, aka the Brisbane French Festival, complete with all the fine food, busy market stalls and fun activities Francophiles have come to expect.

This year's three-day cultural affair features plenty of all three, although the wine pavilion is certain to be everyone's first port of call. If you're able to tear yourself away from sipping on deliciousness — after enjoying a tipple at the Champagne bar too, of course — you can stop by the biggest cheese display in the fest's history. Then, browse for homewares, gifts, fashion, books and magazines, or enjoy live music, cabaret and even can-can dancing.

Want to steep yourself a little deeper in French style? That's where the masterclasses come in. Learn about everything from French dressing to dairy to dabbling with painting (with wine, naturally). Then, cap off your weekend of Gallic goodness with a glass of champagne — yes, there's a session on that too.
