Festival de la Francophonie 2022

Thursday, March 31 at 6:00 p.m. • $25 Members / $35 Non-members • On-site • 54 W. Chicago Ave

Cocktails at 6:00 p.m. Live music performance at 7:00 p.m.

We couldn't “kick off” la francophonie due to the pandemic… but let’s close our festival together! We start with an hour-long cocktail in our salon featuring beer from Francophone countries along with international cocktails.

Then on with a live musical performance by one of the legends of the Chicagoland’s music scene, Ester Hana… who can sing in 12 languages! Originally from the Philippines, Ester’s career as a singer-pianist was launched at the piano bar of the Manila Hilton before becoming the Windy City “Cebuana songbird”!

Ester will entertain us with a program of songs from around the world including chansons francaises and more! Ester will be at the piano with a cameo appearance by Haitian performer Carlo Felix.

The cocktail hour is made possible thanks to the Consulate General of Canada and the Quebec Government Office in Chicago; Wallonia Trade Office in Chicago;  World Helpers International ; and the Consulat général d'Haiti à Chicago.
