Franco Festival Calgary is about bridging gaps and breaking down the barriers of cultural misunderstanding. It is also about celebrating francophone ethnic diversity. The festival celebrates, showcases and shares the considerable abilities of Calgary's francophone arts and cultural communities. The Festival Launch Dinner, at the Scandinavian Centre on July 26th at 7pm, will be an energetic night of Francophone Rhythms. The free day of family fun will take place at Eau Claire Plaza from 11am-8pm on July 27th. http://www.FrancoFestCalgary.com
