FRIDAY 5TH DECEMBER 12PM – 1PM
Start your summer the So Frenchy So Chic way with a free lunchtime pop-up picnic. Head along to Hyde Park at lunchtime on
Friday 5th December to get a taste of next year’s So Frenchy So Chic In The Park with a free hamper from Simmone Logue plus a sample of the freshest tunes from France.
The food
We will be giving away 150 mini hampers from gourmet caterers Simmone Logue, featuring a traditional baguette with poached chicken, toasted walnut, mayonnaise, roasted tomato and watercress. And for le dessert? A delicious apple frangipane tart. We will also hand out First in first served! Capi will be on board too with some refreshing natural fruits sodas.
The music
During the pop-up picnic we will be playing the newly released So Frenchy So Chic double album. Now in its tenth year, this wildly popular (over 150,000 albums sold) compilation is a cornerstone of the French music scene in Australia, offering a yearly entree to the best sounds from both new and established French-speaking musicians around the world. The 2015 edition, released November 28, is an eclectic collection of the latest and greatest in French hiphop, electro pop, rock, country and alt folk.
The festival
This picnic is just an amusebouche for when So Frenchy So Chic In The Park takes over St John’s College in Camperdown, on Saturday January 17, 2015, presented in association with Sydney Festival.
It’s set to be a perfect summer’s day of the finest French food and wine with a soundtrack to match.
The brilliant headliners, direct from France, are: La Femme’s, Frànçois & the Atlas Mountains, Emilie Simon and The Dø.
Bring a picnic rug, pick up a gourmet hamper, stretch out with something sparkling or kick off your shoes for some barefoot dancing on the grass.
In the meantime, we’ll see you at Hyde Park, mes ami.
When: Friday 5th December 12 to 1pm
Where: Location: On the fringe of the ANZAC Memorial and The Pool of Reflection on the Elizabeth Street Side (City).
First in first served
