This mid-summer weekend-long celebration of Cape Vincent’s French heritage attracts visitors with its French pastries, French breads, parades, fireworks and crafters’ village. Cape Vincent, New York was settled by sympathizers of French Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte. While Napoleon never escaped his imprisonment, supporters including his brother Joseph made their homes here. The French Festival has been running for more than 50 years!
