Guests will enjoy a festive evening in a lively, village-style ambiance, complete with string lights, delicious French cuisine, fine wines, and a dance floor under the stars.
From lifelong Francophones to curious beginners, audiences of any age or level of fluency are welcome. Join us in this tribute to freedom, the Revolutionary spirit, and the French language.
Get ready for an unforgettable evening with live performances from two amazing bands!
Les Provocateurs brings the spirit of French Pop and Yéyé music to New Orleans with a playful, stylish, and irresistible sound inspired by the golden era of 1960s France. Les Provocateurs invites audiences to dance, sing along, and fall in love with the timeless energy of French popular music.
New Orleans vocalist Elijah Hartman and his band bring a vibrant, globe-spanning energy to the music of Beninese artist Angélique Kidjo, reimagining her Afrobeat-infused arrangements with the swagger of jazz, swing, and cabaret.
We are grateful to our sponsors for their generous support of the Bastille Day Fête.
