A Frenchy Affair 2018

Overview

Picnics, cheese platters, Parisian dreams and pithy jazz: that's what a perfect weekend afternoon is all about. It's also what's on the agenda at Northshore Hamilton's A Frenchy Affair, aka the relaxing way to spend a few hours on Sunday, October 21. You'll be pretending you're looking at the Seine rather than the Brisbane river in no time.

From 1pm, the free community event will turn the Hamilton harbour into the place to be if you're a Gallic-loving Brisbanite. On the park's grassy lawns, the coffee will be free, J'adore Les Crepes will be serving up their titular dish and other Frenchy bites, Le Fromage Yard will be slinging all things cheesy and Northshore Harbour Café will be taking care of the cocktails.

That's just the food and beverage side of things. Cigany Weaver will also be setting the mood with jazz tunes, while a whole host of lawn games will add a bit more fun. You can also bring your doggo as long as it's on a leash.

Plus, if you feel like showing up early, there'll be free pastries, macarons, lemonade, iced tea, French Champagne and a lolly buffet. You just need to be one of the first 100 people to stop by the new Riverlight apartments from 11am.
