Perhaps the most eagerly-anticipated event during the Month of Francophonie, the Grande Fête is an invitation to travel the continents of the world in one night: each year, more than 35 embassies unite to present their culture and cuisine, accompanied by the sounds of a special concert by an artist from the French-speaking world. This year's featured artist is talented Swiss singer-songwriter Bastian Baker, whose pop-folk and catchy sing-along ballads stole the show at the Montreux Jazz Festival and sell-out venues across Switzerland.
From 7pm to 10pm: Visit each and every table to sample the countries' foods and beverages and admire their arts and crafts.
At 8:30pm: A live concert from Bastien Baker in the ballroom will complete the ambiance and deliver rhythms of the Francophonie world.
From 10pm – 12am: The cash bar opens and we crank up the volume to let our guests take over the dance floor!
Participating embassies: Belgium, Benin, Bulgaria, Burkina Faso, Cambodia, Cameroon, Canada, Canada-Quebec, Cape Verde, Central African Republic, Chad, Congo, Côte d'Ivoire, Croatia, Cyprus, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Egypt, Equatorial Guinea, France, Gabon, Georgia, Guinea, Haiti, Laos, Lebanon, Mali, Monaco, Mozambique, Niger, Romania, Senegal, Slovenia, Switzerland, Togo, and Tunisia.
