We host several signature annual events that bring our community together to celebrate language, culture, and ideas:

  • Galette Party - In January to celebrate the new year around sweet galettes.
  • Night of Ideas – A global event created by the French Ministry for Europe and Foreign Affairs, bringing together thinkers, artists, academics, and community members for engaging discussions on contemporary issues.
  • Francophone Night – In March, a festive celebration of the diversity of the French-speaking world, featuring cultural presentations, music, food, and traditions from Francophone countries across the globe.
  • San Diego French Film Festival – In May, our annual showcase of contemporary French-language cinema, offering screenings, special guests, filmmaker discussions, and opportunities to discover award-winning films from France and the Francophone world.
