Ecole Bilingue de la Nouvelle-Orléans is proud to present it’s annual fund-raiser Fête Française: “Spring Time in April!” Mark your calendars for Saturday, April 02. French culture comes to life in NOLA. Be transported to Paris in April where the air will be filled with music, laughter, and tempting aromas. This wonderful event features great food, wine, musical performances, arts and crafts.

To quench your thirst, Lillet will feature it’s specialty drink “Joie de Vivre,” and this year we are pleased to have Kronenbourg as our official beer for Fête Française.

Fête-goers will enjoy great music from fabulous local musicians including Marie & Jacques Letalon (Jazz/French), Panorama Jazz Band, Sunpie & the Louisiana Sunspots (Zydeco), Ingrid Lucia (Swing/Jazz), Charmaine Neville (R&B/Jazz) and Tit Canaille (Cajun).

There will be plenty of children’s games and activities, face painting, a rock-climbing wall and much, much more. Fête Française will also have a market place, silent auction, works from many local area artists and a raffle that is sure to delight one lucky winner.
