La Fête des Rois

At The French Library Get Directions

A traditional French holiday, la Fête des Rois (Feast of the Kings) is a festive event and an opportunity for families to gather for some delicious Galette des Rois (King’s cake). Children will enjoy fun activities while the galettes are warming up in the oven, then we will all enjoy a generous slice of the cake! If it’s your lucky day, your piece of galette will hold the fève (bean) and you will be crowned king or queen! Please note that children must be accompanied by an adult.
