About the Auckland French Festival

Welcome to the Auckland French Festival!

Our Mission At the Auckland French Festival, our mission is to celebrate and share the rich and vibrant culture of France with the people of Auckland. We aim to foster an appreciation for French arts, cuisine, and lifestyle through an immersive cultural experience.

Our Story The Auckland French Festival was founded in 2017 by a group of French expatriates and local Francophiles who were passionate about bringing a slice of French culture to New Zealand. What started as a small gathering has grown into one of Auckland’s most anticipated annual events, attracting thousands of visitors who come to experience the charm and elegance of French culture.

Our Events The festival features a variety of events that cater to all ages and interests, including:

  • One Night in France: An enchanting evening of music, dance, and culinary delights, showcasing the best of France.
  • French Market: Explore our market stalls for authentic French goods, from artisan cheeses to handcrafted jewelry.
  • French Zone: A dedicated area where festival-goers can immerse themselves in French language workshops, art exhibitions, and film screenings.

Our Community We are proud to have built a community of supporters that includes local businesses, French artists, and volunteers who all contribute to the success of the festival. Our partnership with French schools and cultural organizations helps us ensure an authentic and enriching experience for all our guests.
