Many people came out to enjoy the music, vendors, and of course the food.

Christine DeLong with Alliance Francaise de Milwaukee was sharing her beloved French culture with visitors at her tent.

She said there will be French lessons each day and games as well. You can also pick up a snack.

"We have beignets! They are like a French donut but lighter. And you know it's deep fried with powder sugar," DeLong said.

You can enjoy the French festival all weekend in downtown Milwaukee.
