Fête Française is a free street festival hosted annually by Ecole Bilingue de la Nouvelle-Orléans at our uptown New Orleans campus where Magazine Street meets General Pershing. Fête Française carries the distinction of being the biggest French festival in New Orleans. In addition to serving as the school’s largest fundraiser, this fun-filled event helps to keep Louisiana’s Francophone heritage alive and well through a variety of food, music, art, entertainment, children’s activities, and more.
Fête Française will be March 21, 2026! We are making this year’s celebration the best one yet, featuring New Orleans’ top musicians and restaurants, Le Marché of artistic vendors, special wristbands, and so much more. Gear up for a day filled with French culture, music, dancing, cuisine, games and more.
