The Francophonie is a pillar of our collective heritage and our national identity. Les Francos de Montréal, a truly iconic event in the world of French-language music and song, help promote the French language and contribute to our country's cultural vitality.
Today, Madeleine Chenette, Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Canadian Identity and Culture and Minister responsible for Official Languages and to the Secretary of State (Sport) and Member of Parliament (Thérèse-De Blainville), announced $262,500 in funding for the 2026 Francos de Montréal. She made this announcement on behalf of the Honourable Marc Miller, Minister of Canadian Identity and Culture and Minister responsible for Official Languages.
This funding, provided through the Canada Arts Presentation Fund, will enable Les Francos to offer a diverse lineup that celebrates the Francophonie in Canada and beyond, while showcasing both renowned and emerging artists.
