This festival aims to create an interactive exchange between these artists and our local Vancouver community. Each artist brings their unique experience with the French language and music, promising engaging performances and workshops.

Let’s gather to celebrate the creativity flourishing in our region! Singer-songwriters, noise musicians, improvisers, business, and visual artists will unite in inclusive spaces, fostering connections across generations and disciplines.
