The Alliance Française de St. Kitts & Nevis is poised to host Francophonie Week 2026, a dynamic cultural extravaganza scheduled for March 19-20 that will showcase the rich tapestry of French-speaking nations. This annual international celebration honors linguistic diversity and shared values of dialogue and peace across the Francophone world.
The two-day program will feature dedicated country themes, cinematic experiences, and culinary delights. March 19 will spotlight Canadian culture with screenings of ‘Kina et Yuki’ for family audiences and ‘Bootlegger’ for adult viewers, complemented by traditional Canadian pastries and pies during an interactive snack break.
March 20 will turn its focus to French culture with daytime educational programs for partner school students and evening public events. The program includes the animated feature ‘Dilili à Paris,’ authentic French viennoiseries and crêpes, and the Défi Inter-Alliances challenge. All film presentations will feature French audio with English subtitles to ensure broad accessibility.
The event enjoys support from diplomatic partners including the High Commission of Canada in Barbados and the French Embassy to the OECS Member States, alongside local sponsors Park Hyatt, Belle Mont Sanctuary Resort, TDC Group Limited, and several bakeries. All activities and tastings are offered free to the public, reflecting the organization’s commitment to cultural accessibility.
The Alliance Française, operating globally as a non-profit organization, maintains its mission to promote French language and Francophone cultures while celebrating cultural diversity through eclectic programming that includes culinary workshops, artistic events, and educational initiatives.
