Festival Franco-Ontarien

The Franco-Ontarian Festival is a major event for Francophones and Francophiles in Ontario, Canada. This festival, which offers concerts as well as activities for young and old alike, was created on May 23, 1976 by Pierre DeBlois (president of the ACFO of Ottawa-Carleton at the time) and its primary mission is to celebrate French cultural pride and more particularly the Francophone community in Ontario. It is also a time for English speakers to discover more French culture around the world (music, cuisine, etc.)
