2026 edition!

Applications for the 2026 French Cultures Festival are now open!

         Organized by Villa Albertine Houston, the French Cultures Festival (FCF) is an annual month-long celebration held from March 20 to April 20, dedicated to honoring and promoting French-speaking communities across Texas, Oklahoma, and Arkansas. During this time, our cultural and educational partners present a variety of artistic and educational events, celebrating the rich diversity of the French-speaking world.

        The main objective of the French Cultures Festival is to raise awareness about the diversity of contemporary French-speaking cultures and to foster meaningful engagement with audiences. The FCF brings together people who not only speak French but also feel connected to Francophone cultures and local Francophone communities.

        The festival gathers numerous institutional partners, including museums, universities, schools, diplomatic missions, nonprofit organizations and many other organizations. Each year, more than 40 cultural and educational events are showcased across the three states.  If you are based in Texas, Oklahoma, or Arkansas and are planning an event related to the French language or Francophone cultures between March 20 and April 20, 2026, we invite you to submit your event application for consideration in the 2026 FCF official program.
