One of the most important cultural and musical francophone events in Western Canada is saying, “bonjour” to Vancouver next month.

Now in its 34th year, Vancouver Francophone Summer Festival is hosting a huge lineup of concerts featuring acclaimed artists from across Canada and around the world. And you don’t have to be a Francophone enthusiast to attend, either.
