Francophiles and local folk filled the main street of Milford on Saturday 22nd February for Vive la France 2020. Kitchener Road was closed off to traffic this year which made for a wonderful, unmistakable French festival atmosphere. Red, white and blue bunting crossed the street, cafe tables filled one end by the stage while food trucks and craft stalls ran down the rest of the street creating the best festival yet. Milford businesses had stalls out the front of their shops with the retailers themselves dressed in theme. There were plenty of pastries, crepes, coffee, preserves, cheeses and much more to add to the flavours of France. Other highlights were the music performances on stage, a petanque terrain, a high tea to be won, and the inaugural dog show featuring many chic four legged friends and their proud owners.
