Entertainment Schedule:

NOON: THE SUZUKI VIOLINS

French Market opens with the Suzuki Violins playing both the American and French national anthems. These talented virtuosos remind us that, while we're Americans, we're also a little bit French. At least at the French market!

1215-200: TRANSATLANTIS

The music of Sylvain and Transatlantis is fresh, attractive and all original. Drawn from many diverse styles, this “world music” is lyrically crafted melodies, choice harmonies and Sylvain’s French vocals. A French Market favorite for many years.

215-415: ROUGHOUSE

Roughouse is a blues-steeped, classic rock and roll band out of Noblesville and is playing the French Market for the first time. Maybe you've heard them at a Colts game or at the Slippery Noodle. Roughousers unite at the French Market stage!
