Celebrate the best of French culture right here in Australia at So Frenchy So Chic 2023, back for a 12th year of indulgent summer escapism!

The only French music festival of its kind outside of France, SFSC is an unmissable garden party where guests dance on green lawns under the shining sun and sing along to live French music (whether or not they understand the lyrics).

Returning to both Melbourne’s Werribee Mansion and Sydney’s Bicentennial Park, the daylong event is a unique social and sensory experience of live music, gourmet food, fine wine, and joie de vivre on tap.

With a fresh lineup of French performers and gourmet food over two dates in January 2023, So Frenchy So Chic remains the poshest picnic in the Southern Hemisphere — kick off your shoes and dance!

“A massive day party replete with French food, wine and music.” — Timeout, 2022

“Expect an entire afternoon of French-inspired niceties, including (but not limited to) gourmet picnic hampers, tartlets and terrines, and offensively good wine — all to a chill French soundtrack.” — Concrete Playground, 2021

SFSC23 will be a wholly catered and licensed event, with feasts prepared by premiere French eateries in Sydney and Melbourne.

Melbournians will enjoy offerings by famous fromagerie Milk The Cow, Frederic Bistro, and Prahran’s favourite French restaurant, L’Hôtel Gitan.

Sydneysiders can expect haute cuisine in a relaxed setting by Bellevue Cottage, headed up by Antoine Moscovitz, who trained under Alain Ducasse and was formerly private chef to House of Roederer Cristal Champagne. In addition, Rosebery French eatery, Frenchies, will be offering charcuterie hampers.
