A World of Music, Films, Performances, and Events—All with a Distinctive Accent

The annual Francophonie Cultural Festival (March 6 to April 13) celebrates the creativity, variety, passions, and intellectual variety of the nations of the French-speaking world. It's a global fusion of modern literature, contemporary and traditional music, great cuisines, visual arts, films, and family events.

Francophonie 2012 is presented by The Smithsonian Associates in collaboration with the Francophonie Committee of Washington, D.C. and the embassies of more than 70 countries.
