Festival | Food
New Zealand's only French settlement throws open its doors for a weekend of Gallic joie de vivre on the shores of Akaroa Harbour.
Paid event
Wander Le Marché Français for local food, wine and French-inspired treasures, catch the Descendants Parade honouring the town's founding families, and be dazzled by Cirque du Croissant.
Watch history come alive with The Landings re-enactment, sway to live French Folk Dancing, and let the kids loose on free games and activities all weekend long.
As Saturday evening falls, Le Cabaret brings the glamour under the stars... almost sold out, with a handful of VIP seats still up for grabs. With 5,000 to 7,000 visitors expected across the three days, this is Canterbury's most colourful celebration of French culture, heritage and fun.
Bonjour Akaroa, bienvenue Festival Français!
