SUMMARY:June 24 La Rencontre to feature St-Jean-Baptiste Day
DESCRIPTION:The Franco Center will host La Rencontre June 24\, 2027. Featured that day will be displays about St-Jean-Baptiste Day\, recognized as a national holiday in Canada.  \nTICKETS https://app.arts-people.com/index.php?show=343792 \nTickets for this event are on sale through the Franco’s box office and must be purchased by noon on June 17 as tickets will not be sold at the door.   \nSt-Jean-Baptiste Day was so widely supported in Lewiston and Auburn by the Franco community that two parades were held on the same day one year. The last float in the parade was always of a little boy dressed as a shepherd representing the patron saint of Canada. The last parade in Lewiston-Auburn for this special day was held in 1966.  \nLa Rencontre\, which translates to “the gathering\,” is similar to an old-fashioned French-Canadian kitchen party with socializing\, food\, and music.   \nMore information will be shared as the event is planned.
