So Frenchy So Chic
Calling all Francophiles: the biggest French music festival (outside of France, of course) and all-round posh picnic is coming back to Melbourne in 2024 with the biggest line-up to date. Ooh là là. The aptly coined So Frenchy So Chic, an annual Parisian-inspired summer party, will be arriving back at the historic Werribee Park Mansion on Sunday, January 14, 2024. The event will bring French cheese, wine, music and all-round summer-picnic-by-the-Seine vibes to the luscious parklands in such a way that one would normally have to buy a pricey Euro plane ticket to experience. This year's festival rendition will showcase a magnifique range of native French music stars, with a whole host of the nation's best and brightest talent making the big trip Down Under to perform their exclusive sets. You can expect to see the likes of Grammy-winning French psych-rockers La Femme, Gallic singer-songwriter Laure Briard, energetic hit French musician Malo’, and dynamic Parisian duo Kill the Pain. In 2024, So Frenchy So Chic will also introduce a program of interactive workshops which are free of charge. Explore the world of wine in a masterclass with the ex-sommelier of France Soir, get creative with hands-on ceramic sessions, power through a 30-minute French language lesson, or compete for epic prizes in a grand pétanque tournament. Kids will also love the arts and crafts workshops, face painting, and magic and mime classes. Entertainment aside, one of the best things about So Frenchy So
