Bastille Day French Festival Melbourne
Swap your beanie for a beret and soak up the spirit of France, right here in the heart of Melbourne
Transforming Melbourne, in person and online, the annual Bastille Day French Festival, proudly presented by Peugeot, makes its much awaited return in July.
This free* festival will showcase all that is magnifique about French culture; lose yourself in the French Winter Market, tantalise your taste buds with our cocktail and wine and cheese masterclasses, be entertained with tales of sport, kick up your heels with our live and online entertainment, test your love of French culture with our online French Trivia event, see the best in Hip Hop (dance sport making its debut at Paris Olympics), explore Melbourne with a walking tour or learn with our Les Lumieres talks series featuring art, history, innovation and sustainability. This year’s Festival has something for everyone, at home or at Fed Square.
Raise your glass of champagne, kick up your heels, devour a creme brulée or crêpe and join us as we celebrate Vive la Révolution!
