WHAT IS CARNAVAL FRANÇAIS?

Building on our cherished Marché d’Hiver, Carnaval Français will inspire curious minds, celebrate our state’s rich French heritage, showcase the beauty and diversity of the francophone world, and solidify Lycée Français de la Nouvelle-Orléans as  Louisiana’s premier French school.

Imagine: You’re savoring the mouthwatering flavors of local delicacies, each bite capturing the essence of New Orleans. As you indulge, the air fills with the mesmerizing melodies of some of our region’s finest musicians, including standouts like the Lost Bayou Ramblers and Amanda Shaw. Next up, you try your luck at our renowned raffle, where you stand a chance to win baskets bursting with the finest treasures our region has to offer. Strolling through our festive grounds, you encounter unique vendors, each adding a sprinkle of Louisiana’s unique allure.  For our young attendees, from toddlers to teens, a world of fun awaits – with rides, games, and crafts, and entertainment for kids of all ages.

Join us in this celebration and be a part of an unforgettable experience!
