In other words…
American Association of Teachers of French, AATF-WNY presents Le Franco – Festibal du Beau-Fleauve, a festival dedicated to French speaking cultures. If you’re French, or if you are fond of the language and/or the culture, then this is an event that is not to be missed. Filled with dancing and drumming, food tastings and Carnaval masks… this is the type of event that I can see growing in the future and taking on a life of its own… as a street celebration. Sounds like a rip roaring good time.
