New Caledonia Season 2024

in New Zealand

New Zealand’s Alliance Française network proudly presents New Caledonia Season in partnership with the Government of New Caledonia and New Caledonia Tourism.

New Caledonia Season

September - October 2024

New Caledonia’s Journée de la Citoyenneté on September 24th is the country’s yearly celebration of its unique heritage and cultural differences.

The Alliance Française network in New Zealand will be honouring our closest French-Pacific neighbour throughout the months of September and October with a calendar of events in each city.

With the recent unrest in Nouméa, this New Caledonia Season is an opportunity to show support for New Caledonia while learning about the culture and discovering the vision of young artists.

This year’s highlights will include the 5th edition of the New Caledonia Film Festival, as well as a range of events for the whole family centered around gastronomy, art and culture round out the calendar, inviting you to learn all about Le Caillou.

Have you been to New Caledonia? Then be sure to participate in the quizz nights.

Are you a gourmet traveller? Join the tasting events.

Want to know how the locals live? Attend the Film Festival for a varied selection of short films centered around the joining of art, traditions and modernity.

All events are open to non-members. Alliance Française members get discounted pricing to paying events.
