Le Festival 2026
Le Festival 2026 returns to Roma Street Parkland this July for Brisbane’s biggest French pique-nique!
Baguettes, blankets, baskets and bérets at the ready – Le Festival is back, and this year it is taking over Roma Street Parkland for a weekend of authentic French joie-de-vivre. From flaky, buttery croissants and melting cheese to clinking glasses and fabulous French melodies, every sense will be treated to the ultimate pique-nique à la française.
Visitors can pre-order a perfect picnic box online and settle in for hours of live entertainment on stage, a bustling French market bursting with the flavours, aromas and colours of France, and specially curated masterclasses exploring French cuisine, oenology and perfect pairing. A children’s corner will keep the littlest Francophiles entertained all day, while a French bar ensures glasses are never empty – because a French festival without Champagne simply would not do.
Since 2010, Le Festival has become the most iconic French festival in south-east Queensland, offering Brisbane locals, wider communities and Francophiles of all kinds an immersive and authentic French cultural experience. Whether café-croissant or Champagne-charcuterie, there is something for everyone at Le Festival 2026.
Bon appétit, Brisbane – and à bientôt!
