Mt Eden Village French Fete

Excusez-moi de vous déranger – but we’d like to invite you to the Mt Eden Village (French) Fete, mes amis!

The heart of Mt Eden village will adorn the tri-color of our French counterparts, as the annual Village Fete starts its new initiative in 2012. Each year, the Mt Eden Village Business Association selects a different country as its theme for that year – adding a new dynamic to the eclecticism the village holds already.

So say “sacre bleu” with amazement to a street market packed with délicieux food and drink, eclectic music, and plenty of entertainment from 11am-3pm and with the red, white and blue bringing a little bit of Paris to Mt Eden!

With around 50 businesses getting involved this year, the Village Fete is a favourite on the Mt Eden calendar, as shopkeepers set up stalls with specially priced sale goods for the event. Participating food-sellers will also line the street with a good deal of fresh and tempting food on offer and offer a taste that is the village’s take on French cuisine! From crusty baguettes and rustique preservatives to mouth-watering pastries and desserts to delight those with a dent sucree (a sweet tooth!)

Even the entertainment this year has a certain je ne sais quoi to it – street theatre, music and other Parisian entertainment will litter the streets, as Essex Park Reserve becomes a meadow of entertainment pour les adultes et les petits throughout the day!

Until March 1st, au revoir et vous y voir!
