After a two-year hiatus, Winooski’s French Heritage Festival made a triumphant return on Sunday, June 26, with the AFLCR as a presenting sponsor. A steady stream of Francophiles passed through to check us out, to explore taking courses, and just to chat in French.

Live French music filled the air as people strolled through and checked out the adjacent Winooski Farmer’s Market as well.
