Le Festival Francais 2026

The Heights Heritage House and Garden

Inspired by all things French, Le Festival Français is a celebration of the food, wine, language and above all, the culture of France. This two-day, weekend event to be held at The Heights, Newtown, is an opportunity to soak up the sights, sounds and atmosphere and experience la belle vie in one of the region's most picturesque settings. Fun for all ages. Come early and stay all day. This year they are embracing Francophonie cultures from around the globe with the inclusion of traders and entertainment from French-speaking countries. Visit the website for more information about stallholders, special presentations and free entertainment including an animal farm, dedicated kids' activity zone, and music and dance workshops for children and adults. Proudly presented by Alliance Française de Geelong in Partnership with the National Trust Australia (Victoria). Le Festival Francais 2026 is Supported by a City of Greater Geelong Community Grant.
