is back, saturday, april 29 2023

The Alliance Française is ecstatic to present its 7th Annual Gala Fundraiser, "A Taste of France".

Taking place April 29th at the Multnomah Athletic Club (MAC), our Annual Spring Gala "A Taste of France" will remind us all how important it is to safely gather together as a community. It's no secret that the past couple of years have been hard. Now more than ever, it's important for us to come together to support each other and support the Portland French community. 

Win fine wines from the Willamette and beyond, unique French properties, cooking classes, great dining experiences, and unique finds – these are just some of the tantalizing items you'll find in the Soirée's live auction.

VISIT The Spring Gala Online Auction! April 22 - May 1 

Create your account at the auction site to bid. Items will be available for pickup at the Alliance starting May 3.
Certificates will be mailed to the winners
