For the 11th year, La Fete will roll out a whole month dedicated to art-centered events. But as every party has an end, this La Fete 2015, which will be held from Jun 3 to 20, will be the final one.

“Don’t think of this as a goodbye but a feast for the new beginning, because from next year, we’re going to have not just one month but a whole year full of art events,” said Thierry Viteau, Ambassador of France to Thailand.

For its farewell edition, La Fete 2015 will feature more Franco-Thai collaborations than previous years. Here’s the list of featured shows.
