Information and review of the FIC
This Cuban festival in France is an invitation to travel, immersing participants in the festive, colourful atmosphere of Cuba without leaving French soil.
Through a rich and varied programme, the FIC aims to promote cultural exchange and strengthen ties between France and Cuba, while offering a showcase for Cuban artists.
The Festival International Cubano was born from the initiative of a group of Cuban culture lovers who wanted to share their passion with as many people as possible. The idea was to create an event that would not only entertain but also educate people and raise awareness of Cuba’s cultural richness.
The FIC’s mission revolves around several themes, celebrating:
- Music
- Dance
- Art
- Food
- Culture
The history and traditions of the Caribbean island are also highlighted.
The FIC is therefore much more than a simple cultural event: it’s a living celebration of the Cuban soul, a tribute to its catchy music, passionate dances, vibrant art and cuisine.
Through its diverse activities, the FIC in Orange invites everyone to discover and appreciate the richness of Cuban culture, while encouraging an enriching intercultural dialogue.
Each edition of the festival is a unique chance to escape, have fun and learn, making this event a must for anyone looking for an authentic Cuban experience in France.
¡A gozar!
