All festival proceeds will benefit the Alliance Française D’Austin’s Frederique Moinard Scholarship Fund, which annually awards scholarships to area students. The French Legation Museum, under the custodianship of The Daughters of The Republic of Texas, will also hold a Silent Auction with original artwork, fine wines, weekend getaways, gift certificates to local restaurants and entertainment, museum memberships, and other fine items up for bid. All proceeds from the auction will benefit the French Legation Museum.
