The Fifth Annual RVA French Food Festival
The Fifth
Annual RVA French Food Festival on
April 20th is pulling out all the stops to
make this year’s event the biggest and best yet. In addition to the can’t-miss
entrees of world-renowned Chef Paul Elbling we have the fun Cajun flair of Chef Sean
Murphy of the newly opened
Savory Grain,
to deliver even more French food options to all of Richmond. Chef Sean Murphy will be adding even more of a party to his Cajun
Corner with an all-new Low Country Boil.
And,
for all those who just can’t get enough Mardi Gras in their life, don’t miss the
Mardi Gras parade complete with traditional favors being thrown.
Sponsored
once again by Bon Secours Virginia Health System and the Page Auto Group and benefitting Little Sisters
of the Poor in Richmond, the RVA French Food Festival is Richmond’s
community-wide event featuring all things FRENCH. Where else can you savor
delicious French foods from the different regions in France while sipping French
wine and beer, take in live jazz music, shop a Parisian marketplace full of
vendors, and enjoy games and entertainment for the kids, all amidst one of the
most beautiful properties in Richmond? Come out for lunch, come for dinner, or
just come for dessert!
Can’t decide which French wine to choose?
This is no problem
with wine tastings in the new wine garden and also new this year, “Chef Paul’s
Picks,” hand selected wines coming highly recommended by Chef Paul himself.
The festival will go from
11:00 a.m. until 9:00 p.m. and don’t forget: it is benefitting a great cause
right here in the River City. So bring your friends, bring your family, and get
ready to step into a slice of France, right here in your own hometown!
The French
Food Festival will be held at 1503 Michaels Road
from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m.
Admission is free, but a suggested $2 donation to help defray event costs would
be most gratefully appreciated. Free parking is conveniently located in the
Forest Office Park lots next door.
All proceeds
from this event will benefit the elderly poor who are lovingly cared for by the
Little Sisters of the Poor.
