Festival de la Francophonie: Soiree Commune March 4, 2011

La Francophonie, it’s more than 220 million French-speaking people from over 50 different countries representing a carnival of cultures spanning the continents from Marrakesh to Montréal and from Toulouse to Tahiti. The French language and culture unites people from 33 countries on 5 continents and the month of March is when Chicago celebrates la francophonie at the Alliance Française. On the kick-off evening to our month-long festival, sample delicacies from Belgique, Canada, France, Morocco, Québec, Romania and Switzerland, offered the French-speaking consulates, governments and associations of Chicago; meet people from all over the world on the dance floor with DJ Lady D spinning La Francofolie, a mix of classics, hits and techno-ethnic. Belt out your own version of La Vie en Rose and let your inner Céline Dion loose during the Karaoke de la Francophonie. Admission includes food and beverage. Pre-registration for this event is strongly recommended.
