French music floods the world with its sounds from various origins: Caribbean, African, American, European, and many others. However, in Calgary there is little space dedicated to the diversity of French culture. Therefore, the Francophone Multicultural Festival was created as a long-lasting crossroad of cultures, allowing its actors to develop, promote and share their passion for years to come.The creation of a Francophone Multicultural festival invites people to discover the proficient Francophone arts and music scene. The arts promote the rich cultural diversity that makes up Calgary.This festival is also an opportunity to honor our artists and the people who contribute their efforts to the development of French speaking cultures. Unique and exceptional, the festival also promotes the talent of local artists, not to mention the many people and organizations working to share the vitality and radiance of our culture.
