31st BEAUJOLAIS FESTIVAL SILENT AUCTION

The Alliance Française de Charlotte has been organizing the Charlotte Beaujolais Festival since 1993. The proceeds from the Charlotte Beaujolais Festival and this On-Line Auction will directly benefit French Education and French Cultural events in the Charlotte area, such as very affordable French classes, French library, grants for high school or college students’ projects in French, and support for Francophone communities.

This year, funds will be used to concentrate on building a youth library for La Petite École, our newly launched Saturday school for children 3 - 13 years old. Availability of reading material in French is an important way to ensure the success of our young learners.

The Charlotte Beaujolais Festival will be held at the at the Hendrick Automotive Group Independence Center, 6030 E Independence Blvd, Charlotte, NC 28212 on November 22 starting at 6:30 pm, and we will be featuring French wines from the Languedoc-Roussillon area, also well known for its incredible “art de vivre” and its rich history. The Beaujolais wine 2024 will be our wine of honor during the event.

Your ticket includes the wine tasting, dinner of Boeuf Bourguignon and veggies from Patrick's Gourmet, desserts from Renaissance Pâtisserie, live music, and of course, our live auction! Splendid products and services await you!

Celebrate 31 years of Charlotte Beaujolais Festival with us, as well as the 75th anniversary of AF Charlotte. (AFC was created in 1949)

Alliance Française of Charlotte, founded in 1949, is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization whose mission is to increase appreciation for the French language and Francophone cultures worldwide and, in so doing, reinforce the Franco-American friendship.

To fulfill this mission, AFC organizes monthly cultural events in the community, offers French classes and themed workshops, and funds two grants annually. AFC is also committed to providing a place where recent arrivals from Francophone nations can make significant connections with other French speakers in Charlotte.
