Prepare your palettes, channel your savoir faire, spread out the picnic blankets and cue the camembert on the shores of the Brisbane River when Hamilton Reach plays host to its second annual, free community event, A Frenchy Affair.

It’s Brisbane’s best French themed riverfront picnic en-masse, for a relaxing Sunday afternoon of music, picnic grazing on crepes, pastries, gourmet cheeses, macarons and other sweets. Sit for your signature caricature, play games and meet A Frenchy Affair’s ambassador, Instagram celebrity French bulldog Basil the Frenchy. Pooches on leads welcome!

For those who love a freebie, be sure to rock up early to Riverlight apartments from 11:00 am – to celebrate the opening of the new development, Riverlight is giving the first 100 people to check out the newly-completed apartments a goodie bag to fill with free treats. Think pastries, macarons, lollies, lemonade and more – all perfect for enjoying in the sunshine at A Frenchy Affair! Please note that this deal is running from 11:00 am to 1:00 pm or while stocks last.
