Fête d’Hiver - SATURDAY, DECEMBER 11, 6 - 11pm

(POSTPONED FROM DEC 10 DUE TO SNOW STORM)

Join Alliance Française for our annual winter celebration: Fête d’Hiver! Come enjoy delicious mulled wine, bûche de Noël, drinks, music, and a dance party with DJ Salif Keita!

There will be fun for the whole family!

This year the wintery fun will start at 6 pm on Saturday, December 11th, 6pm.

From 6pm to 8pm join us for a variety of activities including a Conte de Noel for the kids by our wonderful teacher Marie-Jeanne at 6:30pm, a visit from Papa Noël, du vin chaud, a buffet with cheeses and charcuterie, bûche de Noël, and lots of friends to reconnect with, in French or in English! If you would like your child to receive a present during their visit, please bring a small, prewrapped present with your child’s name written on the bottom at the beginning of the event. There will be an inconspicuous place to put these gifts, and Papa Noël will carry them in his sack and distribute them.

From 8pm to 11pm DJ Salif Keita will join us for a dance party in the Grande Salle! This portion of the evening will be for ages 21+, and drinks will be available to purchase at the bar. Mirror ball and great music to dance!… Mettons-nous sur notre 31… our discotheque is back!!

To help limit the number of participants at this event and keep everyone safe, there are three different time slots for the evening. These times are not absolutely strict, but intended to help monitor our number of guests and allow everyone to participate in the portions that interest them most. For those only interested in participating in family activities at the beginning of the event, the 6pm to 8pm time slot is the best option. For those who would like to join for part of the family activities as well as the dance party, the 7pm to 9pm slot would be preferable. For those who only wish to attend the 21+ portion at the end of the evening, they can register for the 8pm to 11pm time slot.

We can’t wait to celebrate the season with you!
