French Cultures Festival 2023

Spoken by 300 million people on five continents and by 2.1 million people in the United States alone, French is the second most widely learned language in the world. Since 1970, French language has been celebrated on March 20, which marks the birth of the Intergovernmental Organization of French-speaking nations (Organisation internationale de la francophonie). 

One of the major objectives of the French Cultures Festival is to create awareness of the diversity of French language and cultures and to stimulate exchanges with the public.

The FCF gathers many institutional partners from museums, universities, schools, diplomatic representations, and many other organizations. Every year, more than 45 cultural and educational events are showcased during the Festival in the three states covered by the Cultural Services.

Check out the Festival’s official website for a full line-up, and read the 2023 FCF REPORT.
