So Frenchy So Chic Pop-Up Picnic

Overview

So it turns out there is such a thing as a free lunch. In the lead up to their larger event at Werribee Park in January, the folk behind So Frenchy So Chic are hosting a pop-up picnic in Treasury Gardens, and the victuals are on them. Be one of the first 150 people to turn up at 10am on Wednesday, December 10 and you’ll find yourself dining on a gourmet mini-hamper gratuit.

Whipped up by fine food company Simmone Logue, each lunch will be made up of a traditional baguette, packed with poached chicken, toasted walnuts, mayonnaise, roasted tomato and watercress, with dessert in the form of a summery apple frangipane tart. To keep your thirst quenched, Melbourne-based beverage creators Capi will be supplying you with their clean, natural, carbonated refreshments.

Of course, it wouldn't be a So Frenchy So Chic affair without music. SFSC's 2015 double album, released on November 28, will be soundtracking the picnic, with its compilation of tunes from the world's best emerging and established French-speaking musicians. It's a multifarious mix of alt-folk, country, rock, hip hop and electro-pop.

So Frenchy So Chic proper will be happening on Sunday, January 11, at Werribee Park. Headliners include La Femme, Frànçois and the Atlas Mountains, Emilie Simon and The Dø.

Find the So Frenchy So Chic pop-up picnic at Treasure Gardens (near Parliament and Spring Street) this Wednesday, December 10. Get. There. Early.
