French style buffet & party for Bastille Day - 15 July at Sky City
Alliance Francaise is delighted to invite you to our special Bastille Day celebration!
This special event is the perfect opportunity to celebrate French National Day in a friendly and festive atmosphere. In the middle of the New Zealand winter, we offer you a warm evening of French spirit. Whether you are a Francophone or simply curious to discover French culture, this evening will be an opportunity to share unique moments and create memorable souvenirs.
Come and enjoy the delicious French food at our buffet and enjoy a glass of champagne or fine wine. We invite you to join us from 6pm to share this memorable July evening at SkyCity Hamilton. Bring a group of family or friends - the event is open to all! We will have live music from "La Mer" French guinguette band for the first two hours of the evening.
Please note drinks are not included in the price and are to order and pay at the bar. There will be a choice of French wines (red, white and rose) on offer, and Orangina.

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
59.5% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
25.9% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.6% ... It is complicated
