On Sunday, October 17, 2026, the Kingston East Community Centre was filled with laughter, songs, and smiles as Ari Cui Cui took the stage as part of the 30th edition of the Franco-Foire, organized by ACFO Mille-Îles. Children and adults came together to enjoy a heartwarming experience where imagination, music, and emotions took centre stage.
Through classic tales, songs, and interactive games, Ari Cui Cui invited children into a world full of warmth and creativity. Kingston’s little biscuits had the chance to sing, play, and explore different emotions by acting them out, all while letting their imaginations run wild.
The atmosphere was joyful and full of participation! The children enthusiastically joined in the activities, and parents were encouraged to take part in the experience as well. This shared moment gave families the opportunity to laugh, express themselves, and enjoy a live performance in French together.
Beyond entertainment, Ari Cui Cui’s show offered children and their parents a wonderful opportunity to share a cultural experience in French through songs, stories, and play. These shared moments allow families to have fun while making French a part of their everyday lives.
The 30th edition of the Franco-Foire was also a wonderful opportunity for the community to come together and celebrate the diversity of the Francophone community. We were delighted to contribute to the festivities by helping present Ari Cui Cui’s show and connecting with visitors at our booth.
A big thank you to Ari Cui Cui for this wonderful performance and for sharing a moment filled with songs, stories, and emotions with Kingston families!
We would also like to thank our volunteers, whose valuable help contributed to the success of the event, as well as our co-presenter, ACFO Mille-Îles, and Les Tréteaux de Kingston for this wonderful collaboration.
Events like these are made possible through the commitment of many partners and the participation of families who come together to celebrate Francophone culture.
Thank you to everyone who joined us for this performance. We are delighted to have shared this special moment with you and hope to see you again at our upcoming cultural activities!
We look forward to more opportunities to come together, have fun, and celebrate Francophone culture in Kingston!
Finally, a heartfelt thank-you to our partners and funders for their support throughout the season:
