French Heritage Festival & Soirée

WOONSOCKET – Today’s annual French Heritage Festival & Soirée is all about spreading Francophile cheer and celebrating the city’s French-Canadian heritage. And you don’t have to be French-Canadian to enjoy the festivities.

The free festival, now in its 32nd year, will be held from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at picturesque River Island Park in downtown Woonsocket, where attendees will be greeted by the smells of savory crepes and Tourtière (French-Canadian meat pie) and traditional French-Canadian folk music performed by Canada's Mathieu Allard Trio and Fluer de Lis, a local band led by Marianne Valentin.
